About this product
Product Information
Beginning in the latter half of the 19th century, individuals identifying themselves as Poles, Slovaks, Carpatho-Rusyns, Ukrainians, and others began what would eventually become a mass influx of eastern and central Europeans into Pennsylvania s anthracite coal mining region. These people brought with them languages and customs quite alien to the longer-established groups that had settled the area many years earlier. At times the Slavs clashed with these groups, as well as among themselves. Eventually, however, they wove their way of life indelibly into the multiethnic fabric of the growing region. The Anthracite Coal Region s Slavic Community presents a pictorial history of Slavic people in hard coal country, conveying the unique and rich culture brought to the area with the arrival of these diverse communities."

Title: Book reveals history of local Slavic community Author: Staff Writer Publisher: The Dispatch Date: 12/28/2008 The book boasts more than 200 vintage photographs along with a supportive narrative from local author Brian Ardan. He has carefully selected rarely seen images from various private collections, churches, historical societies, and archives for the new book. The Anthracite Coal Region's Slavic Community presents a pictorial history of Slavic people in hard coal country, conveying the unique and rich culture brought to the area with the arrival of these diverse communities. Author Brian Ardan hopes The Anthracite Coal Region's Slavic Community "will be a touchstone of sorts for those interested in knowing about, and perhaps preserving, a culture that has had an enormously strong hand in shaping the character of hard coal cities and towns." Older readers of Slavic descent will experience a pleasant and nostalgic look at events and organizations once widespread in the region. Younger readers will find the photographs to be an "eye" into the world of their forebears not only in the U.S., but also in far off eastern, central, and southern European locales. The book does not limit itself to one particular Slavic group; Poles, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Ruthenians, and are highlighted. Readers interested in church history will find two chapters about the establishment of Slavic churches in the region, as well as with parish daily life. The book is available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com. Brian Ardan is a faculty member in the Stevenson Library at Lock Haven University. He has a master's degree in Slavic studies from Indiana University and a master's degree in library science from Clarion University. He has lived in Slavic language-speaking countries, including Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia and Montenegro. Arcadia Publishing is the leading publisher of local and regional history in the United States.
