| Title: A Novel about a Good Person |
| By (author): Emma Andiievska Translated by: Olha Rudakevych |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865499 : 9781894865494 |
| Set in a displaced personsâ camp in Germany sometime in 1946 or 1947, Emma Andiievskaâ s A Novel about a Good Person is a brilliantly imaginative and boldly surrealistic tale about an â average personâ sâ struggle to save their soul in the context of the eternal battle between good and evil. On the one hand, the novel deals with the little known and understudied fate of postwar refugees from Eastern Europe, particularly from Ukraine. On the other, through her treatment of time and space, Andiievska creates a timeless model of reality in which all of the events she describes are transformed into symbolic phenomena and her protagonistsâ actions, experiences, and moral dilemmas become universal. |

| Title: An Anthology of Modern Ukrainian Drama |
| By (author): Larissa M. L. Zaleska Onyshkevych |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865278 : 9781894865272 |
| This book is the first extensive anthology of modern Ukrainian drama to be published in English. It is an insightful textbook and invaluable source of information for students of Ukrainian literature in English-speaking countries. Dr. Onyshkevych developed the idea for this collection while teaching Ukrainian literature at Rutgers University, New Jersey. In preparing a course on Ukrainian drama in translation, she discovered that only a few Ukrainian plays had ever been translated into English. Consequently Dr. Onyshkevych started planning and compiling an anthology of the translated plays of a number of modern Ukrainian authors for use as a university textbook. The book contains ten dramas by nine prominent twentieth-century Ukrainian playwrightsâ Leslia Ukrainka, Volodymyr Vynnchenki, Mykola Kulish (two plays), Ivan Kocherha, Oleksii Kolomiiets, Valerii Shevchuk, and postwar émigré authors Eaghor G. Kostetzky (Ihor Kostetsky), Liudmyla Kovalenko, and Bohdan Boychuk. It represents an excellent introduction to the study of modern Ukrainian literature, as well as a useful reference for the general study of drama. Dr. Onyshkevych prefaces each translation with brief biobibliographical information about the playwright and an essay about the play itself. This publication is a parallel volume to her Ukrainian-language anthology published by the CIUS Press in 1998. |

| Title: Communism and Hunger |
| Sub-title: The Ukrainian, Chinese, Kazakh, and Soviet Famines in Comparative Perspective |
| Edited by: Andrea Graziosi, Frank E. Sysyn |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865472 : 9781894865470 |
| Leading specialists examine the affinities and differences between the pan-Soviet famine of 1931â 1933, the Ukrainian Holodomor, the Kazakh great hunger, and the famine in China in 1959â 1961. The first three articles deal with famine within a single state or Soviet republic and the remaining three offer comparative perspectives. With increased access to archives, scholars now have a sense of the dynamics, demographic impact, and consequences of the great political famines of the twentieth century, unleashed by Communist parties endowed with centralized planning mechanisms that they believed they could control and manipulate. In exploring the commonalities and specificities of the massive famines produced by the two largest Communist states, the authors also set forth numerous hypotheses and agendas for future research.

| Title: Contextualizing the Holodomor |
| Sub-title: The Impact of Thirty Years of Ukrainian Famine Studies |
| Edited by: Andrij Makuch, Frank E. Sysyn |
| ISBN10-13: 189486543X : 9781894865432 |
| It was in the 1980s that the Famine of 1932â 1933 in Ukraine became the subject of serious academic study. The publication of Robert Conquestâ s ground-breaking The Harvest of Sorrow in 1986 in particular focused attention on what has come to be known as the Holodomor. The pace of research accelerated in the wake of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, when archives that had been off limits became accessible. Issues that had once raised controversy such as whether the Ukrainian borders had been closed were resolved by documentary evidence. Careful demographic studies replaced intuitive estimates on population losses. In addition, the amount of survivor testimony expanded many times over. Yet many issues continue to be debated, such as the relation of the Holodomor to the general Soviet famine, intentionality, and the question of genocide. With this context in mind, the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC) of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies partnered with several institutions to organize a conference examining what thirty years of scholarly work on the Famine has added to our understanding of Ukrainian history, Soviet history, communism, and genocide studies. The conference, held in September 2013 on the eightieth anniversary of the Holodomor, brought together specialists to discuss the impact in their fields of research and academic discourse on the Holodomor. This book contains the conference papers given by Norman Naimark, on genocide; Andrea Graziosi, on Soviet history; Françoise Thom, on Stalinism; Olga Andriewsky, on Ukrainian history; and Stanislav Kulchytsky, on communism. An introductory article by Frank Sysyn provides an overview of thirty years of research on the Holodomor. These papers first appeared in the journal East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies, edited by Oleh Ilnytzkyj. |

| Title: Disharmony and Other Plays |
| By (author): Volodymyr Vynnychenko Edited and translated by: George Mihaychuk |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865596 : 9781894865593 |
| Volodymyr Vynnychenko (1880-1951) was an extraordinary writer and political figure of the Ukrainian generation that was active in the early twentieth century. In his stories, novels, and plays he broke with populist and literary-realist traditions and rebelled against the social mores and political system of the tsarist empire, often raising provocative questions about morality and authenticity. Vynnychenko wrote most of his 23 plays while he lived as an émigré. A number of his plays were staged in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, and other countries. But in the English-speaking world, Vynnychenko is still largely unknown. This volume of six of his best-known plays, translated by George Mihaychuk, corrects this lacuna and introduces readers to a masterful dramatist. |

| Title: Documenting the Famine of 1932â 33 in Ukraine |
| Sub-title: Archival Collections on the Holodomor Outside the Former Soviet Union |
| Edited by: Myroslav Shkandrij |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865685 : 9781894865685 |
| This collection of articles breaks new ground in Holodomor scholarship, presenting archival sources that in many cases are little known or completely unexplored. The articles are organized in four sections: new explorations of archival collections; responses of Western governments to events in Ukraine in 1932-33; the international response to the Famine; and perspectives for future exploration. Researchers share their knowledge of the archives of foreign affairs ministries in countries that maintained diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union in the 1930s, including Japan and the United States. Other researchers report on the archives of immigrant and diaspora communities that emigrated from Soviet Ukraine to Western Europe and North America. The Ukrainian, Jewish, and Mennonite communities in particular maintained contact with individuals in Soviet Ukraine, and surviving materials cast new light on the events of 1932â 33. A number of articles describe newspaper coverage in France, Canada, and the United States, and several explore overlooked collections of oral interviews. The volume builds upon and augments research already accomplished and indicates promising future avenues of investigation. |

| Title: Eastern Christians in the Habsburg Monarchy |
| Edited by: John-Paul Himka, Franz A.J. Szabo |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865642 : 9781894865647 |
| This collection brings together ten studies by scholars from various countries on a wide array of topics related to the history, culture, and ritual practice of Eastern Christians in the Habsburg Empire from the eighteenth to early twentieth century. This book represents a contribution to the development of newer perspectives on the Habsburg Monarchy emerging in recent years. These newer tendencies seek to understand the dynamics of the Monarchyâ s pluralism by marrying local and transnational analyses and examining shared experiences across crown lands within the context of the empire. This approach proves to be valid for the religious pluralism of the Habsburg Empire, where self-professed confessional identity could not be delimited either within a crown land or within a specific ethnic milieu. The studies in this volume explore just such shared practices and experiences encompassing a larger collection of territories within the Monarchy by focusing on those areas that contained large numbers of Christians whose faith and rituals derived from Byzantium rather than Rome, that is, Eastern Orthodox and Greek Catholics (Uniates). The volume also aims to provide a corrective in Eastern Christian studies by looking outside Russia and Greece at the often hybrid practices and cultural and religious experiences of Europeâ s westernmost Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic faithful. Several chapters deal with the sacral art of the Habsburg Monarchyâ s Ukrainians and Rusyns. |

| Title: Empire, Colonialism, and Famine in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries |
| Edited by: Bohdan Klid |
| ISBN10-13: 1894865669 : 9781894865661 |
| The essays in this volume examine the often-overlooked connection between empire building, imperial rule, and mass starvation. While droughts and other natural disasters can lead to serious food shortages, a decline in food availability need not result in wide-scale starvation. Mass starvation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has almost always been linked to political decisions about food distribution. Some of the worst cases occurred within empires or their colonies. Topics addressed include famines in Soviet-ruled Ukraine, British-ruled Ireland and India, and the Peopleâ s Republic of China, as well as famine and food policies during World War II connected to Nazi German and Romanian empire-building in occupied Ukraine and Moldova. The introductory essay provides an overview of recent literature on famine theory and other studies addressing the connection between empires, empire-building, and famines. As a group, the writers show the value of comparative study of wartime famines in occupied territories in the context of empire building, and of famines linked to imperial or colonial rule in overseas colonies or peripheral regions. |
