His feature-length Ukrainian language films made in the 1930s with Hollywood director Edgar G. Ulmer, the king of ethnic and B movies, were shown throughout North America. Orest T.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Covering the initial phase of Ukrainian immigration, settlement and community-building in Canada, this history goes beyond existing accounts in three important respects. First, the Ukrainian experience in Canada is placed firmly within the context of Canadian history, as well as the history of immigrants and immigration. The social and economic forces that "pushed" Ukrainian peasants out of eastern Galicia and northern Bukovyna and "pulled" them to Canada are examined. The efforts of French-Canadian Roman Catholic primates in western Canada to subordinate the immigrants to their authority are analyzed. Attempts by Anglo-Protestant social reformers to "Canadianize" the immigrants through the medium of Protestant missions and the public school system are also discussed. The book's second major subject is the impact of the Ukrainian national movement, which penetrated the villages of eastern Galicia and northern Bukovyna during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and shaped the outlook of the men who assumed leadership within the Canadian immigrant community.In particular, it demonstrates how the national movement's radical, secular and populist precepts fueled anticlericalism, sustained opposition to machine politics and heavy-handed methods of "Canadianization," and promoted self-reliance and resistance to economic exploitation. Ukrainian Canadian attitudes to the First World War, the Russian Revolution and the struggle for independence are also considered. Martynowych's account also delves into the everyday lives of ordinary Ukrainian immigrants in rural bloc settlements, urban colonies, frontier construction camps and one-industry towns from coast to coast. An attempt has been made to survey material conditions of life, to examine occupational structures and entrepreneurial activity, and to consider social differentiation and the emergence of class divisions. The formation, proliferation and activities of local institutions such as parishes, reading clubs, drama groups, co-operatives, national homes, socialist circles and labour temples are also analyzed, as are the efforts of Ukrainian nationalists and socialists to transmit their ideologies and mobilize popular support through such institutions.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is the first in-depth history of the second wave of Ukrainian mass immigration to Canada. It spans the period between the Railway Agreement of 1925 and the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, and focuses on the most active and politicised newcomers and their impact on the major religious institutions and secular mass organizations around which community life revolved during those fractious and tumultuous years. Several thematic threads run through the narrative and unify it. The first of these is transnationalism -- the persistence of social, organisational, and especially religious and political ties that continued to bind Ukrainians in the Old Country, in European emigre centres, and in North American colonies with one another. The book shows how Ukrainian immigrants followed political developments and religious controversies in their dismembered homeland, hosted emissaries of overseas political movements and regimes, and recruited teachers, cultural workers, and clergy from every corner of the Ukrainian diaspora. A second theme is the central role played in Canada by war veterans who had participated in the overseas struggle for Ukrainian independence (1917-21).Many of these men were loyal to the exiled central Ukrainian strongman Pavlo Skoropadsky or to the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which was based in western Ukraine. As the most dynamic force in the Ukrainian-Canadian community, the war veterans promoted an assertive and militant brand of nationalism, urged their countrymen to greater discipline and obedience, and expressed admiration for authoritarian regimes in Europe. The book considers their impact on the Ukrainian churches, on the emergence of new secular mass organisations, and on the response of pre-war immigrants to the challenge presented by the newcomers. This book is the first in-depth history of the second wave of Ukrainian mass immigration to Canada.
