Book Description
Belarusans in the United States traces the history and describes the lives and activities of the over half-million Belarusans who have entered the United States over the last century. Vitaut Kipel presents extensive statistics and documentation on these immigrants so that they can be understood within the socio-political contexts that prevailed in Belarus and the United States. He clarifies the complex terms necessary to understand the Belarusan settlers because of the constantly changing names and rulers of this land now known as the Republic of Belarus. Kipel demonstrates the growing sense of nationalism felt by the Belarusans as the end of the Soviet Union neared and the eventual independence of Belarus became imminent. He notes the effects of the events in Belarus on those who moved to the United States, while chronicling the actions of the people as a group in a new country.
