Paul Robert Magocsi. The People From Nowhere: An Illustrated
History of Carpatho-Rusyns. Uzhhorod: V. Padiak Publishers,
2006, 120 pages. Maps. Illustrations. $24.50, cloth.
A new book by the well-known scholar and founder of Carpatho-Rusyn
Studies, Professor Paul Robert Magocsi of the University of
Toronto, is a short popular survey of the history and culture
of Rusyns worldwide. The title was inspired by the now proverbial
phrase, "I am from nowhere," coined by the famous American
artist of Carpatho-Rusyn background Andy Warhol. Printed on
glossy paper, with 6 maps and 184 historic and contemporary
illustrations in color and black-and-white (many of which
are reproduced here for the first time) present an excellent
introduction to the people who do come from somewhere very
real-Carpathian Rus'. The reader can easily discover that
this mysterious land has its own rich centuries-long history
and distinct culture.
The book is available in February 2007.
