Abstract: "The term Chango (Csango) is the name of a population whose ethnic origin has been the subject of much controversy. The term originates from the Magyar language in which it means "mixed" or "impure". Most Changos live on the territory of Romania, the largest number in Moldavia. Many are bilingual speaking Romanian and Magyar and their religion is Catholic. This book, the only one available on this subject in English, makes an important contribution to the scholarly discussion surrounding the question of the origins of the Changos and sheds new light on the history of this little known, but fascinating people."--BOOK JACKET.
