From the publisher:

This book examines the continuity and vitality of local Ukrainian ethnicity in Canadian everyday life at a time when Ukrainians were actively re-establishing transnational ties in the late twentieth century. The monograph is based on materials collected by the author over five years (1997-2001) during various ethnographic studies both in the area of compact Ukrainian settlement in the province of Alberta and the village of Mandera in particular, and in the village of Hrytsevola, Lviv region, which became one of the sources of migration of peasants to Mandera at the beginning of the twentieth century. By examining the place of local ethnic identity in the life of an average community in a developed society from an anthropological perspective, the author offers the reader a detailed ethnographic excursion into the life of a small Western Canadian town in the late twentieth century and invites them to immerse themselves in this environment and experience various aspects of its Ukrainianness. For scholars, students, teachers, and anyone interested in contemporary manifestations of Ukrainian culture in the world.
