Laima Anglickienė. Kitataučių įvaizdis lietuvių folklore

The review deals with the book Kitataučių įvaizdis lietuvių folklore (en. The image of foreigners in the context of Lithuanian folklore) by Laima Anglickienė (Vilnius: Versus Aureus, 2006). Reviewer presents a comprehensive review of each section in the book, and mentions the most important ideas raised by the author. Reviewer concludes that the author's work can be assessed positively. Undoubtedly, this book represents a new page in explorations of the Lithuanian ethnic groups. More importantly, any monograph covering all the ethnic groups in Lithuania have been absent from the space of Ethnology until the appearance of this book by L. Anglickienė. According to the reviewer, this book represents a successful attempt to explore the ethnic culture of Lithuania, and the incentive to further explore these ethnic groups in Lithuania. It’s in agreement with the opinion of the publishers that theoretical generalizations regarding this subject will be useful for not only folklorists, ethnographers, but also representatives of any other humanities or social sciences, and the general public. Representatives of other ethnic groups might find this book encouraging to find out the image of Lithuanians prevailing in folklore of their nations
