Beyond Kindjals and Doughnuts: Rethinking Georgia's Narrative (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783384227997)

A Georgian cultural evening at Columbia University offered a taste of traditional music, dance, and food. Yet, a peculiar introduction cast a shadow. An elderly speaker, using a flawed "doughnut of history" metaphor, portrayed Georgia as a void. This sparked a question: is this how the world sees this European nation, a land rich in history and culture? We must move beyond stereotypes like hidden daggers (kindjals) and forget comparisons to pastries. Georgia deserves a deeper understanding. Its story stretches back millennia, marked by ancient kingdoms, stunning architecture, and a unique alphabet. Let's delve into the true essence of Georgia, appreciating its vibrant tapestry beyond simplistic metaphors and sweet treats.
