Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book would be a most useful addition in all libraries and it would be an invaluable aid in history courses, or as a reference for multicultural topics." (Iyvan Michalchyshyn Canadian Materials )

"This book will be of interest to anyone of Ukrainian ancestry and to anyone who has wondered why Canada became a mosaic of cultures instead of a melting pot like our neighbour to the south. [Petryshyn] makes history live by means of letters, memoirs and newspaper clippings. The maps and historical photos further enliven the text." (Carla Kozak Edmonton Sun )

"...a well-research and fascinating study of an often overlooked group." (William S. Egelman International Migration Review )
