Description

A History of Carpathian Rus’ and Carpatho-Rusyns by Professor Paul Robert Magocsi.  This is a history of a stateless people, the Carpatho-Rusyns, and their historic homeland, Carpathian Rus’, located in the heart of central Europe. The book traces the evolution of Carpathian Rus’ from earliest prehistoric times to the present, and the complex manner in which a distinct Carpatho-Rusyn people, since the mid-nineteenth century, came into being, disappeared, and then re-appeared in the wake of the revolutions of 1989 and the collapse of communist rule in central and eastern Europe. There are 34 detailed maps plus an annotated discussion of relevant books, chapters, and journal articles.
