Diana Cholakova is a Bulgarain American designer living in Detroit, Michigan. The new book by Lolita Nikolova shares her life experience as a successful Bulgarian immigrant from early 21st century. It is based on interviews of Diana, her husband, Prof. Boyan Dimitrov, her daughter Daria, her mother, sister and many friends who live all over the world. The genre is named BIOMEMORY as Prof. Nikolova keeps the content as close as possible to the documentary narrative.
Diana and I met online in 2007, when the idea of Bulgarians of the Year in the United States arose. Unlike many other categories that focus on events, the Salt Lake City International Institute of Anthropology implemented the idea of the anthropology of everyday life—the search for values that create cultural capital in everyday life. Along with Nikola Charakchiev and Peter Stamatov from Chicago, Diana was relentless in drawing a realistic picture of immigration in the U.S. with her focus on Bulgarians from Detroit, Michigan. Diana, her husband, Boyan, and her daughter Daria, became a Bulgarian family of the year in 2007. Above all, the love in the family and the friendship they shared with other Bulgarians from Detroit was impressive.
The electronic book is available at biblio.bg . Printed copy on demand (1 week). For more information and to order please e-mail lnikol@iianthropology.org
