Latvian exile literature refers to the publications that were authored and published by Latvians who emigrated to Western countries after World War II and were issued between 1945 and 1991. Mixed methods research was conducted, incorporating citation analysis, questionnaires and interviews. Nine subject fields from the social sciences, arts and humanities were examined: philosophy and psychology, religion and theology, political science, education, folklore and ethnography, the arts, linguistics, literature, history. For the citation analysis, 33,866 citations from 1241 publications were collected. In the survey, 79 questionnaires were received from Latvian researchers and 31 questionnaires from the librarians working in Latvian academic, special and the main regional libraries. After the data analyses of citations and questionnaires were conducted, the results were presented to 15 researchers in Latvia (experts in their subject fields) for their assessment and comments. The overall results show that Latvian exile literature has had the greatest impact on research in folklore, history and literature.

  • Changes and Challenges Changes Pedagogy and Educational Sciences Sciences and Educational Pedagogy Baltic States in the Post-Soviet
    Pedagogy and Educational Sciences in the Post-Soviet Baltic States, 1990–2004: Changes and Challenges 1990–2004: Changes Baltic States, in the Post-Soviet Sciences and Educational Pedagogy Throughout the book, there is a pervasive historical view of the development of specific areas of education in three sections: pre-independence ideals and activities; shaping the educational field of an independent state from legislation to educational content and educational sciences; re-entering the Western world and integrating into EU educational processes. A different substantive approach shows changes in views and practices at the level of individuality, family, institution, and nation. I would like to emphasize in particular Pedagogy and Educational Sciences the importance of the book as a source of information on the 15-year upheaval in education. It clearly shows, on the one hand, the objectivity in the Post-Soviet Baltic States of the scientific approach and, on the other hand, the “grounding” of this objectivity due to the personal participation of the writers and researchers in the processes under consideration. All the mentioned qualities make the book an important information resource for the widest audience: the description of the historical development, the identified ideals, problems and decisions, and the rich list of sources can be used by students, university lecturers, teachers, and researchers in the Baltic states, as well as internationally.
