This is a comprehensive and fascinating look at contemporary life in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.This unique reference work explores contemporary life in three former Soviet Union republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. No other reference book offers such exhaustive material on the traditions and customs of all three nations.In the early 1990's, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia emerged from the grip of the Soviet Union and stood on their own for the first time in almost a century. Today, these three nations are slowly emerging from communism's dark cloud, thriving culturally and gaining strength economically. "Culture and Customs of the Caucasus" is the ultimate one-stop reference source that explores the three countries in the region.This engaging and wide-ranging volume includes Caucasus' history, urban life, religion, literature, cuisine, holidays, and leisure activities, among many other topics.
