Based on a combination of academic research, fieldwork, and interviews, Olesya Yaremchuk's literary reportages paint realistic, thoughtful, and historically informed depictions of how these various groups arrived in Ukraine and how they have fared within the country's 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 Ukraine's broader cultural identity."-- OP - 162 CN - DK508.423 .I2713 2020 SN - 383827475X SN - 9783838274751 SN - 3838214757 SN - 9783838214757 KW - National characteristics, Ukrainian.
