	Galicia (Central Europe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria with the Duchies of Auschwitz and Zator.
		Galicia was twice occupied by the Ottoman Turks in the 1490s and 1520s, ravaged by Ukrainian Cossack pogroms and Russian and Swedish invasions during The Deluge, and the Swedes returned during the Great Northern War of the early 18th century.
		Galicia was subject to the Austrian part of the Dual Monarchy, but the Galician Sejm and provincial administration had extensive privileges and prerogatives, especially in education, culture, and local affairs.

	Is there a European identity?
		Central Europe could not expect anything from Berlin: "Surrounded by the Germans on one side and the Russians on the other these nations were forced to devote their energy to a fight for survival and for their languages.
		Central Europe stood for all that was democratic, rational and western in their native countries while Eastern Europe was associated with the negative aspects.
		"Central Europe is a vast area with unanswered questions and unresolved contradictions, an area of half-hearted claims which have been realised just as little as their counter-claims, and which seem to be an expression of visionary whims since they have something whole, something new and immense as their goal".

		L'viv -- Lemberg served as the capital of Austrian Galicia, which was dominated by the Polish aristocracy, despite the fact that the population of the eastern half of the province was in the majority Ruthenian or Ukrainian with large minorities of Jews and Poles.
		From 1868, Galicia was an autonomus province of Austria-Hungary with Polish as an official language.

		Centralized bureaucratic states grew in size and influence as they ate away at the geographically dispersed pockets of political and economic power that characterized Europe in medieval times.
		In interwar Central Europe, the actual involvement of the state in economic life far transcended the restricted role reserved for it by the prevailing liberal orthodoxy.
		The importance of the state as an actor in interwar Central Europe is demonstrated by the case of Austria where the state was relatively passive.

	Re-ordering Europe’s Eastern Frontier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Galicia, straddling the Polish-Ukrainian border, remains not just a regional memory as a former autonomous Habsburg province, but is rapidly being re-created as a post-1989 spatial-historical imagination and an entry-card into Europe.
		Galicia is a powerful, still-living myth in the culture of two nations, the Polish and the Ukrainian.
		Galicia is thus remembered as "the last Europe", a multi-national cosmos swept away in the chaos of the two world wars and the consequent imposition of categorical choices of language, nationality and ideological bloc.

	Notes about Galicia
		In the Middle Age, Galicia was a kingdom with territories extending to the north of current Portugal (Braga city was one of the capital cities of Galicia) and the north-west of Spain, apart from the current Galicia territories.
		It was at this time when pilgrims from Central Europe (France, Germany, Austria, England) came to Santiago (Saint Jacobs) traversing the territories of the north of Spain known at this time in Central Europe as 'Jacobsland'.
		All the houses are made up of stone mainly because Galicia is plently of granite and slate -now exported all over the world; look around, if you see a pink granite building it is undoubtedly from Galicia.

	The Peoples of East Central Europe
		On the eve of World War II a central industrial district was being created in what seemed to be the safest part of the country in addition to the industrial centers of Warsaw and Lodz, the mining districts in Upper Silesia, and the oil fields in eastern Galicia.
		German Austria, with its ambiguous character, was indeed the weakest element in the whole structure of East Central Europe between the two wars, although under her Catholic leaders she made a serious effort to integrate herself in the new state system of the Danubian region, breaking with any tradition of nationalistic German imperialism.
		East Central Europe was once more reduced to the territories which Russia had not succeeded in attaching to her empire or to its new ideology.

		In this annotated bibliography, Eastern Europe means most of the region, between the Baltic Sea in the North and the Aegean in the South, also between Germany, Austria and Italy in the West, and Russia in the East.

		Unlike the sections on Western Europe and USSR, the sections on Eastern Europe have no thematic subdivisions, only rough chronological divisions into periods before and after World War I. This problem is, however, partly remedied in the subject index under each country.

	Andrzej Stasiuk: Tales of Galicia
		Seemingly a set of prose ballads about the southeastern tip of Poland, Tales of Galicia brilliantly blurs the line between the short-story genre and the novel, while giving a vivid, poetic portrait of an imaginary village that was once part of a vibrant collective farm system.
		Set in this rather forlorn tip of southeast Poland, Tales of Galicia is less a novel than a linked series of ballad-like prose poems about the alcoholic sloth of a region which, after the withdrawal of state agricultural subsidy, seems to have lost its will to live.
		Besides a work which lucidly captures the countervailing senses of emptiness and promise of Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism, the novel is a good representation of leading contemporary fiction in this region.

	Central Europe Review - Trans-Carpathia: Multi-ethnic outpost
		Despite the prejudice that regions of such diversity in Central and Eastern are hotbeds of intolerance and ethnic strife, the residents of Trans-Carpathia pride themselves on their cosmopolitan outlook, multilingualism and inter-ethnic cooperation.
		The Verecke Pass, the gateway the Magyars used into Europe in 896 AD, is located in Trans-Carpathia, and the local Hungarian population is the remnant of the thousand-year Magyar rule over the province, which ended only in 1918.
		The central government must be prepared to recognize the Rusyns as a national minority, since the census will show that the minority does in fact exist.

		Music in the Culture of Polish Galicia: 1772-1914 offers a fascinating cultural portrait and should be of particular interest to music scholars and to Poles with roots to Galicia.
		Ezra Mendelsohn's Painting a People: Maurycy Gottlieb and Jewish Art and Jolanta T. Pekacz's Music in the Culture of Polish Galicia, 1772-1914 are highly original studies on the cutting-edge of several disciplines: social history, history of ideas, cultural studies, Jewish studies, Polish studies, and Polish Jewish studies.
		Both books offer the rare intellectual pleasure that goes with disentangling intricate historical patterns behind the mythologized image of Galicia as a land of pride and tears, where good men and women were busy shaking the dead hand of the past.
