Zusammenfassung:Germans -- Poles & Lithuanians -- Russians, Belarusians, & Ukrainians -- Island cities
In this volume, the author recounts her three-month journey to the borderlands west of Russia and the people she meets along the way. The narrative proceeds from Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea to Odessa on the Black Sea, stopping in large cities and small towns; it combines a bit of history from the Middle Ages with tales of contemporary life without the Soviet Union to portray an eclectic mixture of ethnic identity. In reasserting their heritage, the inhabitants of the borderlands attempt to build a future grounded in their fractured ancestral legacies. In the process, neighbors unearth old conflicts, devote themselves to recovering lost culture, and piece together competing legends to create a new tradition
