- Title
Carpathian Rus': Interethnic Coexistence without Violence.
- Authors
Magocsi, Paul Robert
- Abstract
The article discusses the interethnic relations of the European borderland region of Carpathian Rus', with the author primarily concerned with the perhaps counterintuitive lack of interethnic violence in the area. The author explains the often contentious relationship between a person's ethnic identity and national identity, noting that social groups in Carpathian Rus' must often negotiate multiple identities. Emphasis is given to the nonviolent cultural conflicts between the region's Carpatho-Rusyn, East Slavic, Russian, and Ukrainian populations. The ways in which these various ethnic groups engaged in the political activities of the post-Habsburg nations of Czechoslovakia and Poland are also explained.
