LITHUANIANS IN SOUTHEAST LATVIA: CULTURE, ETHNICITY AND THE COMMUNITY OF PEERS à ½ilvytis à  aknys Summary In order to analyse the interaction between the culture of a nation and the cultures of its constituent ethnic groups, or to understand the life of an ethnic minority, it is necessary to distinguish it from the life style of the ethnic groups existing in that state. On the other hand, we need to analyse the relationship between the culture of the investigated ethnic minority and the culture of the residents of their ethnic homeland. Lithuanian residents of Southeast Latvia were chosen for this investigation. For the purpose of comparison, digressions involving the life style of Northeast Lithuania are made. When dealing with the problem of cultural identity of an ethnic minority, I sought to reveal the characteristic features of life styles of Latvian and Lithuanian youth in 1918–1940, to assess their change in 1991–1998, and to consider the distinctive features of the process of ethnic assimilation of Lithuanians living in Latvia. The basic source of the present article is fieldwork material accumulated in 1997–1998 in Latvia, and gathered in 1988–1998 in Lithuania. In the period of national rebirth (1988–1990) the reconstruction of ethnic and cultural heritage of 1918–1940 was proclaimed and actively carried out. The goal was to secure the restoration of independence. When the USSR collapsed and the Russian language, together with the so-called “international culture”, lost its privileged position, Latvians and Lithuanians and their culture came to occupy a special position in their respective states. As the holidays imposed during the years of Soviet occupation disappeared, the traditional ones were revived. This brought about certain differences in youth life style. However, the differences were diminished by the decline of religious practices in both states, and by the loss of the dominant position of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Latvia.
