A. Brown - A Biography Of No Place

From ethnic borderland to Soviet Heartland.This is a biography of a borderland between Russia and Poland, a region where, in 1925, people identified as Poles, Germans, Jews, Ukrainians and Russians lived side by side. Over the next three decades, the mosaic of cultures was modernised and homogenised out of existence by the ruling might of the Soviet Union, then Nazi Germany and finally, Polish and Ukrainian nationalism. By the 1950s, this 'no place' emerged as a Ukrainian heartland, and the fertile mix of peoples that defined the region was destroyed.Inclusief kaarten.Voor de inhoud: zie foto 2.Auteur: Kate BrownArtikelnummer : BF7574Categorie: Biografieën/waargebeurd / Engelstalige boekenTaal: EngelsISBN: 9780674011687Uitgever: Harvard University PressDruk: 1Jaar: 2001Pagina's: 308Bindwijze: Hardcover, met stofomslagAfmetingen: 16.5 x 24.5 cm.Conditie: Als nieuwVerzending: BrievenbuspostINCLUSIEF VERZENDKOSTEN binnen Nederland
