National Cultivation of Culture Baltic Literature and Russian Imperialism, Book 33, (Hardcover)

With Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine reviving imperial rhetoric, <i>Baltic Literature and Russian Imperialism</i> explores how literature has long resisted domination. Twenty scholars uncover how Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian writers responded to Tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet forms of Russian power. From censored novels and forced Russification to suppressed memory and cultural survival, this book traces how literature exposes injustice, preserves national identity, and challenges the myths of liberation. Drawing on rare archival sources and regional postcolonial approaches, this timely volume reveals why the cultural fight for freedom, waged with words, is as urgent now as ever. <br> <br> Contributors are: Madara &amp;#256;ri&amp;#326;a, Eva Egl&amp;#257;ja-Kristsone, Anna Freiberga, Deniss Hanovs, Ausra Jurgutiene, Narius Kairys, Benedikts Kalna&amp;#269;s, Ieva Kalni&amp;#326;a, Zita K&amp;#257;rkla, Laurynas Kudijanovas, Laura Laurusaite, M&amp;#257;rti&amp;#326;s Mintaurs, Donata Mitaite, J&amp;#257;nis Oga, Dalia Pauliukevi&amp;#269;i&amp;#363;te, Aare Pilv, Ivars Steinbergs, Jüri Talvet, Valdis T&amp;#275;raudkalns, and Brigita Valantiejiene.
