"Orest Subtelny offers a stunning portrait of a resourceful and tenacious people told through prose and more than 250 well-chosen photographs." "Subtelny begins with a moving portrayal of the political and economic realities of the homeland, and follows with a description of the three distinct waves of immigration to the United States and Canada. The final chapter, on the diaspora, makes striking comparisons between the lives of Ukrainian peoples in Canada and in the United States, revealing much about their sense of community and ethnic identity."--BOOK JACKET.
