History

The journal was established in 1981, under the auspices of the Houston chapter of the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America, as The Houston Sarmatian, obtaining its current title in 1988. In 1999 a nonprofit public foundation, the Polish Institute of Houston, was formed as a cultural and educational institution with the chief purpose of continuing the publication of the journal.[4]

The journal took its name from "Sarmatia", a semi-legendary appellation for the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a multicultural state that included most of Eastern Europe from the 16th to the 18th century.

Content

The journal concerns itself with the Slavic countries (most prominently Poland, Russia, and Ukraine), the post-Soviet period, American and European ethnic questions, and matters related to mass media, higher education, literature, government, religion, and politics. The journal publishes articles, reviews, and occasionally poetry samples.
