Sarmatian Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sarmatian Review (ISSN 1059-5872)[1] is an English-language peer-reviewed academic tri-quarterly[2] journal devoted to Slavistics (the study of the histories, cultures, and societies of the Slavic nations of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe).

The Sarmatian Review is published by the Polish Institute of Houston, at Rice University, three times a year: in January, April, and September. Since 1992 an abbreviated web edition has been available at the Sarmatian Review website, free of charge, six to ten weeks after the publication of the print edition.

The editor of the Sarmatian Review is Ewa Thompson.

History[]

The Sarmatian Review was founded in 1981, under the auspices of the Houston chapter of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences, as the Houston Sarmatian. In 1988 it was renamed the Sarmatian Review. In 1999 a nonprofit public foundation, the Polish Institute of Houston, was formed as a cultural and educational institution with the chief purpose of continuing the publication of the Sarmatian Review.[3]

"The Sarmatian Review was conceived by a group of American Polish scholars who observed a dearth of scholarly journals that would allow Polish-American points of view to be heard. Polish-Americans, and other Americans of Central European ancestry, will be able to speak for themselves in a scholarly publication that reflects Central European and Polish-American identity."[4]

The Review takes its name from "Sarmatia", a semi-legendary appellation for the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a multicultural state that included most of Eastern Europe from the 16th to the 18th century.

Content[]

The Sarmatian Review concerns itself with the Slavic countries (most prominently Poland, Russia, and Ukraine), the post-Soviet period, American and European ethnic questions, and matters related to mass media, higher education, literature, government, religion, and politics. The Sarmatian Review publishes articles, reviews, and occasionally poetry samples.
