Located at the exact geographic center of the European continent,
and known by many as "the heart of Europe," Carpathian Rus’ is a
quintessential borderland, where geographic, political,
ethnolinguistic, religious, and socio-climatic borders converge. In
the midst of this diversity, the main population has traditionally
been comprised of Carpatho-Rusyns, a stateless people who have
interacted with other peoples living within their midst:
Hungarians/Magyars, Slovaks, Poles, Romanians, Jews, Germans,
Roma/Gypsies, and, in more modern times, Czechs, Ukrainians, and
Russians. Providing a firm understanding of the complexities of
this fascinating space, Carpathian Rus’: A Historical Atlas is
the first text in any language to discuss this historic land and
its local population. Including 34 chapters with full-colour maps
that trace, in chronological order, developments not only in the
historic territory of Carpathian Rus’ but also in the larger
surround area of central Europe. Accompanying each chapter is an
explanatory text to provide the geographic, ethnolinguistic,
cultural, and historical context of the accompanying map.
