After each name in the index, the subject’s birth and death years appear in parentheses. In addition, people are identified by the roles for which they are best known to literary history.

Titles of literary works are listed beneath the author’s name. For book-length works, dates of publication are provided in parentheses. Many literary works are also listed separately, with the author identified in parentheses after the title.

  • CHERES Hailed to Be “The Best Purveyor of Authentic Ukrainian Folk
    CHERES Hailed to be “the best purveyor of authentic Ukrainian folk music in the United States” by the former head of the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress, Cheres brings to life melodies from the Carpathian mountains in Western Ukraine and neighboring Eastern European countries. Since its founding in 1990 by students of the Kyiv State Conservatory in the Ukraine, the ensemble has enthralled North American audiences with their rousing renditions of folk music performed on the cymbalum, violin, woodwinds, accordion, bass, and percussion. Virtuoso musicians join spirited dancers, all donned in traditional Western Ukrainian hand-embroidered garments, to paint a vivid picture of Ukrainian folk art. The musicians, most of whom are from Halychyna in western Ukraine, are united by an artistic vision to preserve their traditions. “Cheres” is actually a little known Ukrainian term for a metal- studded leather belt formerly used as a bulletproof vest during the Middle Ages. Today, the group Cheres has adopted this Medieval protective shield as their name to symbolize the safeguarding of vanishing folk art traditions from the Carpathian mountains. This seasoned ensemble has performed in nightclubs and concerts in New York City; music festivals in the Tri-State area, including Lincoln Center’s Out of Doors Festival in 2006 and Folk Parks in 2000, as well as colleges and universities on the east coast. Cheres has appeared on television on NBC’s Weekend Today show, as well as the Food Network’s Surprise! show. Tracks from their latest CD, Cheres: From the Mountains to the Steppe” have been played on WNYC’s New Sounds program, as well as other stations in the region.

  • So Poor? 2016
    2016 THE STATE OF Working West Virginia WHY IS WEST VIRGINIA SO POOR? Overview A persistent question for those who pondered West Virginia’s fate is a simple: why, in a state rich in natural resources, are West Virginians so poor? For more than a century several explanations have been developed by natives and interested “outsiders.” This report, the ninth annual investigation of The State of Working West Virginia, comes at one of those times when national attention has been drawn to the state in the wake of the 2016 elections. In an even more unusual twist, much national discussion has focused around the conditions of our working class, an example of which is the surprise success of J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a ​ Family and Culture in Crisis. This analysis is an effort to cut through often overheated rhetoric and ​ look at the available data and at historical trends. The report begins with review of the long debate regarding the causes of West Virginia’s poverty. These have ranged from cultural explanations to those that emphasize the colonial nature of the economy. It will then proceed to look at current data, including a rigorous statistical regression analysis of the factors that contribute to the region’s poverty. It will conclude with recommendations about how to effectively address it. These are difficult times for the state, with the decline of our dominant industry and the related crisis of the state budget. We hope this effort will support the work of citizens and decision makers as we try to move forward.
