Publication context

Diaspora freedom

Lithuanian Cultural Legacy in America is a richly illustrated bilingual (Lithuanian and English) album documenting the architectural, religious, cultural, and community heritage of Lithuanian Americans from the late nineteenth century through the early twenty-first. Spanning churches, cultural centers, youth camps, monuments, installed art, and cemeteries, the volume stands as a comprehensive visual and scholarly record of a diaspora that preserved its identity across generations. Published in 2009 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the first written mention of Lithuania, it remains one of the most ambitious reference works on the Lithuanian American experience.
