Over the next three decades, this mosaic of cultures was modernized and homogenized 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. Kate Brown?s study is grounded in the life of the village and shtetl, in the personalities and small histories of everyday life in this area. In impressive detail, she documents how these regimes, bureaucratically and then violently, separated, named, and regimented this intricate community into distinct ethnic groups. Drawing on recently opened archives, ethnography, and oral interviews that were unavailable a decade ago, A Biography of No Place reveals Stalinist and Nazi history from the perspective of the remote borderlands, thus bringing the periphery to the center of history. We are given, in short, an intimate portrait of the ethnic purification that has marked all of Europe, as well as a glimpse at the margins of twentieth-century ?progress.? 606 $aCultural pluralism$zFormer Polish Eastern Territories 607 $aFormer Polish Eastern Territories$xHistory 607 $aFormer Polish Eastern Territories$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCultural pluralism 676 $a947.7/8084 700 $aBrown$b Kate$0789911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459169103321 996 $aA biography of no place$92254289 997 $aUNINA
