Crimean Fig / Qirim Inciri: Contemporary Crimean Tatar Poetry and Fiction features stories and poems, written by contemporary Crimea Tatar writers and poets, which are shadowed by history. Inevitably, they reflect the traumas endured by Crimean Tatars over the last three and a half centuries. They further chronicle the complex process of a population's efforts at reintegration into an ancestral land from which they'd been exiled over more than half a century. One hears, in both the stories and poems, a cultural and national pride, love for a land of stunning natural beauty, and a longing for the stability of peace.
