Assyrierna-från Nineve till Södertälje

Svante Lundgren This book tells in an easy-to-understand way about the long and dramatic history of the Assyrians: about the ancient Assyrian Empire, about how the Assyrians were the first people to adopt the Christian religion, about how they have been persecuted by Persians, Arabs, Turks and Kurds, why they have left their homeland and settled in Södertälje and Chicago, Gütersloh and Sydney. The book addresses the Assyrian language and self-name, churches and secular organizations and tries to describe why they are divided into different groups with different views on identity and history. The book is based on modern scientific research and provides answers to common questions that both Assyrians and non-Assyrians ask about one of Sweden's largest immigrant groups.
