| book description |

This book attempts to fill a historiographic gap while offering a coherent perspective on Wallachian history in a wider Central and East European context. Its intention is to make English-speaking readers aware of a very rich historiographic tradition, and especially of its remarkable results in the last 30 years, during which it has abandoned many of the clichÃ©s and dogmatic conclusions of the communist period in an effort to reconnect its discourse with the approaches and methodologies of Western scholars. This volume presents the history of the region from the perspective of a â€œminor actorâ€, relying on documents and conclusions usually ignored in Western historiographical debates. Contributors are: Mihai-Cristian AmÄƒriuÈ›ei, Marian Coman, Lidia Cotovanu, Ovidiu Cristea, Florin Curta, Liviu Marius Ilie, Elisabeta NegrÄƒu, Ovidiu-Victor Olar, Bogdan Popa, MÃ¡ria Pakucs-Willcocks, Oliver Jens Schmitt, ConstanÅ£a VintilÄƒ, MichaÅ‚ Wasiucionek, and Petronel Zahariuc.
