Fresh Voices from the Periphery Youthful Perspectives of Minorities 100 Years After Trianon

Join us for the book launch and discussion of Voices from the Periphery, a new collection of thought-provoking essays written by young people whose families have lived as minorities in various countries in east-central Europe for four generations. They became minorities not because their families migrated to different parts of Europe, but because the borders were changed overnight by the Treaty of Trianon after the end of the First World War.

Much has been written about the outcomes of Trianon, but this book is very different. These essays are the result of a competition for students and young professionals who live in minority status in four different countries surrounding Hungary: Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Serbia. The writings of several Canadian students on this topic are included as well.

Voices from the Periphery examines how the current generation of young people perceive the impact of the treaty that has had such a long-term effect on their lives. During this book launch, we will hear from the contributors. Their essays not only examine the legacy of the past but also recommend pathways to a more positive future.

Speakers:

Dr. Susan Papp, Ph.D
Various contributors to the anthology: students and young professionals from Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, and Canada.
