Book description: University of Toronto Press, 1991 FINE/FINE First Edition, 1st Printing. Brand new condition, appears unhandled and unread, no markings. 6.5" x 9.5", 534 pages, well-illustrated. - "The American melting pot has sought to assimilate ethnic groups from around the world into the cultural values and practices of mainstream American society. But Ukrainian Americans have not been so readily `melted down,' as Myron B. Kuropas demonstrates in this portrait of a people. He charts the course of the Ukrainians of the United States and their metamorphosis from Rusyns with an essentially religiocultural identity to Ukrainians with distinct ethnonational aspirations." ... "Scholarly concern with American ethnic groups has generally focused on the process of assimilation. This study looks at the other side of the coin and explains how one group not only avoided assimilation but actually created a new national identity in the United States." . Hard Cover.
