Beskrivning

This collection of essays examines Ukrainian-Canadian literature, exploring its historical trajectory, contemporary achievements, and ongoing challenges to illuminate the significant potential this body of work holds for advancing literary and identity discourse both within Canada and globally.The volume brings together distinguished Canadian writers—including recipients and finalists of Canada's most prestigious literary awards—alongside leading international scholars specializing in Canadian and Ukrainian-Canadian literary studies. These contributors engage with contemporary critical frameworks such as intersectionality, food studies, and multi- and transculturalism to provide comprehensive analyses of Ukrainian-Canadian literary content and form.This pioneering study represents the first full-length examination to unite both creative and critical voices from Canada and Europe in exploring the complex dimensions of Ukrainian-Canadian literary identity and poetics. The collection addresses a significant gap in literary scholarship, recognizing that while Ukrainian-Canadian writing maintains a notable presence in Canadian literature, it has yet to receive the scholarly attention it deserves.This volume is essential for scholars of Canadian literature, diaspora studies, and multicultural literary criticism, as well as readers interested in the evolving landscape of contemporary North American writing.
