"They Said the Course Would Be Wasted On Me Because I Was A Girl": Mothers, Daughters, And Shifting Forms Of Female Activism in the Ukrainian Left in Twentieth-Century Canada
A generation divided progressive Ukrainian mothers and daughters. Nonetheless, they shared cultural and political lessons learned at the Ukrainian labour temples, in their neighbourhoods, and on picket lines. They absorbed, transformed and put these ideas to work in a variety of ways to build, challenge, change, or leave the Ukrainian left. Resume
The shattered illusion: The history of Ukrainian pro-Communist organizations in Canada
Many vital issues from Canada's multicultural past have been assiduously ignored by our professional historians because the relevant documentation exists in one or another or our "unofficial" languages and is therefore inaccessible to researchers who are only "officially" bilingual. One glaring case in point is their neglect of the significant Ukrainian Canadian involvement in this country's leftist movement. It might have been expected that The Shattered Nlusion would have redressed this balance. Unfortunately, this book does not meet with these expectations because its author, John Kolasky, has not been concerned with the redressing of Canadian history for the benefit of those not conversant in Ukrainian but rather with the airing of his own bitter disillusionment in the Ukrainian Canadian "pro-communist" cause.
Men Without Women
Men Without Women was a milestone in Hemingway's career. Fiesta had already established him as a novelist of exceptional power, but with these short stories, his second collection, he showed that it is possible, within the space of a few pages, to recreate a scene with absolute truth, bringing to life details observed only by the eye of a uniquely gifted artist. Hemingway's men are bullfighters and boxers, hired hands and hard drinkers, gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine toughness unsoftened by woman's hand. Incisive, hard-edged, pared down to the bare minimum, they are classic Hemingway territory - they helped establish him as one of the great literary authors of the twentieth century, and one of the best American authors of all time.
