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)
