Crimean Fig /Qırım İnciri: Contemporary Crimean Tatar Poetry and Fiction edited by Nataliya Shpylova-Saeed, Anastasia Levkova, and Askold Melnyczuk
Crimean Fig /Qırım İnciri: Contemporary Crimean Tatar Poetry and Fiction features stories and poems by contemporary Crimean Tatar writers. Shadowed by history, their work reflects the traumas endured by Crimean Tatars over the last three and a half centuries. They further chronicle the complex process of a people’s efforts at reintegration into an ancestral land from which they’d been exiled for over half a century. One hears, in both the stories and poems, a cultural and national pride, a love for a landscape of stunning natural beauty, and a longing for the stability of peace.
