"The Carpatho-Rusyns are a central European people, numbering approximately 1.2 million, who live within the borders of five states: Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, and Hungary. They have never had a state of their own. Disregarded and suppressed by most governments that ruled over them in the past, the Rusyn people have had to fight to retain their identity, culture, and language.
This work is an attempt to redress the loss of historical memory and knowledge caused by decades of repression by investigating and explaining the historical past and culture of Rusyns in all countries where they live, including immigrant communities in the United States, Canada, and Yugoslavia.".
"The encyclopedia contains over 1,000 alphabetically arranged entries in areas such as individuals, organizations, political parties, periodicals, historical terms, geographic regions, historical events, and on themes such as architecture, archeology, cinema, ethnography, geography and economy, language, and literature.
The first encyclopedic work on Rusyns to appear in English, this book will be an indispensable resource for European area and Slavic studies specialists, and for general readers interested in international relations and nationalism."--BOOK JACKET.
