Jaroslav and Zasiannia 1031-1947: A Collection of Archeological, Historical, and Ethnographical Essays and Memoirs Pertaining to the City of Jaroslav and Adjoining Region Along the Sian River on the Western Borders of Ukraine. Tapa dura - 1986

New York/Paris/Sydney/Toronto: Shevchenko Scientific Society, 1986. History of this once-prosperous trade center & the San River valley, under Austrian control from 1772 until 1918, when it was ceded to Poland, under whose rule it has remained; many acts of what we would now call 'ethnic cleansing' occurred around the end of the Second World War as Ukrainians were driven out of their ancestral lands or killed by Polish communists. The book argues that the region was always majority-Ukrainian even when under Polish control, and that considerable white-washing of history was perpetrated by the Polish government just after the war during this 'cleansing.'
