Our Others

Stories of Ukrainian Diversity - Taschenbuch.
TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
170 Seiten

ibidemerschienen am16.11.2020Auflage
This is an award-winning exploration of both the histories and personal stories of fourteen ethnic minority groups living within the boundaries of present-day Ukraine: Czechs and Slovaks, Meskhetian Turks, Swedes, Romanians, Hungarians, Roma, Jews, Liptaks, Gagauzes, Germans, Vlachs, Poles, Crimean Tatars, and Armenians. Based on a combination of academic research, fieldwork, and interviews, Olesya Yaremchuks literary reportages paint realistic, thoughtful, and historically informed depictions of how these various groups arrived in Ukraine and how they have fared within the countrys borders. Accompanied by vivid photographs that bring the reportages to life, Our Others is in some respects a chronicle of the myriad voluntary and forced migrations that have rolled through Ukraine for centuries. Simultaneously, the book offers a tender -- and timely -- study of the little islands of cultural diversity in Ukraine that have survived the Soviet steamroller of planned linguistic, cultural, and religious unification and that deserve acknowledgement in Ukraines broader cultural identity. The volumes contributors are: Marta Barnych (contributing co-author), Anton Semyzhenko (contributing co-author), Ostap Slyvynsky (foreword)mehr

Kritik
"'Our Others. Stories of Ukrainian Diversity' is not just a series of reports on national minorities. This book is primarily about the disappearance of memory. In a fresh and original voice, Olesya Yaremchuk tells the stories of ethnic communities in Ukraine that are on the verge of oblivion: some go abroad, others assimilate. In any case, their numbers decrease with every passing year. Will the next generation preserve the customs and traditions of its predecessors? And most importantly - are we Ukrainians ready to accept and celebrate "our others"?"-Lilia Shutiak, Apofenie, June 9, 2021mehr
