As a point of comparison, copper mining and its monetary use in the early modern Atlantic World will also be considered. Contributors rely mainly on economic and economic history methodologies, complemented by geographical and cultural history approaches. The use of novel software applications as tools to explain economic-historical episodes is also detailed.Palgrave Studies in Economic History,2662-6500Economic historyEconomic geographyFinanceHistoryPower resourcesMacroeconomicsEconomic policyEconomic HistoryEconomic GeographyFinancial HistoryNatural Resource and Energy EconomicsMacroeconomics and Monetary EconomicsEconomic PolicyEconomic history.Economic geography.Finance.History.Power resources.Macroeconomics.Economic policy.Economic History.Economic Geography.Financial History.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics.Economic Policy.546.652332.0918210902Pieper Renateedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJefferies Claudia de Lozanneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDenzel Markus Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910349532703321Mining, Money and Markets in the Early Modern Atlantic1992575UNINA03478oam 2200685 c 450 991097338950332120260102090118.09783838274751383827475X9783838274751(CKB)4100000011771055(MiAaPQ)EBC6478725(ibidem)9783838274751(EXLCZ)99410000001177105520260102d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierOur Others Stories of Ukrainian Diversity /Olesya Yaremchuk, Hanna Leliv, Zenia Tompkins, Marta Barnych, Anton Semyzhenko, Ostap Slyvynsky1st ed.Hannoveribidem20201 online resource (162 pages)Ukrainian Voices8Foreword / Ostap Slyvynsky -- Apples from a forgotten garden -- In a race against war -- The island of Gammalsvenskby -- Teacher's day -- Cleaved -- Olha Petrivna, the baron -- Where's mama? -- Station I -- White sun, black wine -- The sway of the guilder -- Music played on wooden spoons -- The Polish experiment -- Home -- Solitude amidst walnut treesOur Others: Stories of Ukrainian Diversity 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 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.
