DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese volumes of a three-volume history of Transylvania are designed to present Transylvanian history in a European context and with due attention to Transylvania's links to Hungary, the Habsburg Empire, the Romanian Principalities, Turkey and other states of Europe. The comparative approach is also prominent in the presentation of Transylvania's internal affairs in that the authors address the history--demographic, economic, social, political and cultural--of the three major national groups: Romanian, Hungarian, and Saxon.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book tells the little known story of Dacia, the powerful and rich land that became Transylvania and Romania. This kingdom was once the cornerstone of Eastern Europe. By A.D. 1, Dacia was the third largest military power in Europe, after the Romans and Germans. Most historians mistook the Dacians for Sarmatians, Scythians, even Slavs. This book revives the Dacian history and contributes to our understanding of the region as it is today. The wars, economy, and traditions of this Transylvanian land permeate the geopolitics of today's Balkan countries. To understand what is happening today in Modern Europe, we need to return to the study of this area. This book provides the context for the invasions that molded the Balkan and Eastern European nations that continue to redraw their borders and impose ethnic domination on each other.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFeaturing essays by leading historians, including Carol Berkin, Andrew Heinze, Earl Lewis, and Mai M. Ngai, Race and Ethnicity in America is a timely introduction to the interrelated themes of race, ethnicity, and immigration in American history and a first-stop resource for students and others exploring the historical roots of today's identity politics. Spanning from 1600 to 2000 and covering everything from the Trail of Tears to the Black Power movement, the book is comprehensive both chronologically and in terms of ethnic groups addressed: It examines not only the history of black-white relations in America, but also the experiences of Irish Catholics, Native Americans, Latinos, Jews, and many others. Topics covered include anti-Catholicism and nativism, slavery and abolitionism, Indian removal, assimilation and scientific racism, the National Origins Act, the civil rights movement, and contemporary debates over affirmative action and bilingualism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKToday Transylvania is part of both Romania and Europe but, above all, it is the welcoming home of all its inhabitants. For the first time in history, its inhabitants can truly feel equal and at home. The country is no longer the Transylvania of yesteryear, bit the traces of the past are present everywhere. In the past, suffering and happiness were experienced, often at different times, by Romanians, Hungarians, Germans, Jews, and ethnic groups alike. Neither the suffering nor the joy must be forgotten. The memories of the past are a priceless treasure, and their preservation is the hallmark of a civilized nation. The Transylvanian entity is a historical construct but, at the same time, today it accompanies us everywhere. It is the only place in Europe where a Byzantine church stands beside a Romanesque basilica, next to a Gothic church and not far from a Baroque one, all located near a synagogue! It is also the only place where an Orthodox place of worship lies a stone's throw from a Greek Catholic, a Roman Catholic, a Calvinist, a Lutheran and a Unitarian one! This is indicative of peaceful cohabitation rather than of conflicts, and fully consonant with the very message of this book: the past must be known not for spite and hatred, but rather for friendship and understanding.

In their second book photographed in Romania, Martínez + Sáez focus on ethnic German Saxons returning to Transylvania to preserve their distinct culture and heritage built over eight centuries. Indigenous to the region, their conflicted story is told through legend and history, and with current texts, revealing an uncertain future for what is now a dispersed group of people.
