Description

The Testimony of Lives offers a compelling anthropological study of post-independence Latvia through over 100 first-hand interviews collected by author Vieda Skultans, who returned to her native country for the first time in 1990 after leaving as a six-month-old refugee. This work weaves together personal narrative and scholarly analysis to explore how Latvian citizens grappled with their complex past and uncertain future following independence. The book examines stories of dispossession, exile, and ambiguous homecomings whilst simultaneously interrogating the nature of memory itself. Skultans demonstrates how individual recollections intertwine with broader national narratives, revealing the intricate relationship between personal experience and collective history. Published by Routledge, this historical biography transcends traditional memoir to become a profound meditation on identity, belonging, and the process of national recovery in the post-Soviet era.

Key Features

Based on more than 100 interviews conducted in post-Soviet Latvia following the nation's independence, providing authentic voices and diverse perspectives on this transformative period.

Combines personal homecoming narrative with anthropological scholarship, offering both intimate storytelling and rigorous academic analysis of Latvian society.

Explores how individual memory intersects with national history and cultural traditions, examining the psychological and social dimensions of post-independence life.
