One of the most exciting new books from Aspasia Books, Inc. is Karelian Exodus, a collection of articles on the exodus to Karelia of Finnish Canadians and Finnish Americans in the 1930s, the reasons behind it, and the experiences in Karelia of those who left.

The 13 Karelia Exodus articles were originally papers presented in March 2004 at a conference in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The conference dealt with Finnish communities in North America and Soviet Karelia during the Depression and featured speakers from Russia, Finland, Sweden, the United States, and Canada.

The interesting and powerful volume is edited by Ronald Harpelle, Varpu Lindstr?m and Alexis Pogorelskin. 235 pages.
