Today’s issue of hidden europe magazine’s e-newsletter ends with a few
words about the magazine’s upcoming March 2006 print issue which includes
some diaspora material. I know this mag well; well written, not overly
academic, but good at communicating with a Europe-wide non-specialist
audience.
‘Diaspora cultures are always interesting, as we have found in our
explorations of Albanians in Sicily (last March) and Estonians in Abkhazia
(last July). So in our upcoming March 2006 issue we visit Yezidi and
Russian communities in Germany, using our brush with Yezidis in the town
of Celle as the launch pad for an exploration of the Yezidi homeland in
Armenia.
‘Armenia! Not Europe, you wonder? But does not the Council of Europe flag
fly from many government buildings in the Armenian capital, Yerevan? So
we'll consider too that thorny issue of quite where the borders of modern
Europe might or should be drawn. All that, plus Spain, a rather Turkish
town in Serbia, a little known Greek island and much more besides.’
