Summary/Abstract: This special volume of the Hungarian American Coalition was released in May 2012, issued at the organization’s twentieth anniversary. From this superbly designed, stylish book we can get information on the Hungarian- American diaspora from the USA, and on the major “umbrella organization” of Hungarian emigrants. The volume describes two decades of diverse activities of the Hungarian American Coalition, the cultural, political and economic aspects of this organization – from the popular “Santa Claus dinners”, educational grants, scholarships, human rights activities, to the active participation in the programs of the US government, NATO development and the general promotion of Hungarian culture. The English-language volume was edited and written by Andrea Lauer Rice (Vice-President of the HAC), Edith K. Lauer (the first president of the HAC, currently Chair emerita) and Katica Avvakumovits (Hungarian Human Rights Foundation), and designed by Lorelei Grazier Danilchick. Registered in 1991 on August 20, with his headquarters located in Washington, DC, currently led by Maximilian N. Teleki, the Hungarian American Coalition, by this volume, gives us an exhaustive vision of how this Hungarian community is integrated into America’s diverse, multicultural society.
