Revealing look at the Canadian immigrant & ethnic experience,
By
This review is from: All of Baba's Children (Paperback)
Myrna Kostash's All of Baba's Children is a penetrating and revealing look at the lives of those of Ukrainian ethnic identity in Canada. Although the book is focused on this population, the conclusions she arrives at are of interest to anyone looking into the long term effects of being an ethnic subgroup in a larger culture. The book melds together personal recollections with source documents and other materials to probe the pressures and conflicts this community has experienced in the past hundred years. Extremely valuable reading for those of Ukrainian descent in both the USA and Canada, but also of great value to sociologists studying ethnic minorities in these two countries.

A must read,
This review is from: All of Baba's Children (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Gives a great perspective on what Ukrainians went through; the hardships, the racism, and the achievements. It was certainly a much different time for an immigrant to come to Canada, and a lesson for those who come today and think its tough. A great account of what many of our now Grandparents would have endured.
