First Wave Emigrants : The First Fifty Years of Ukrainian Settlement in Australia

This book presents the history of the Ukrainian settlement in Australia and associated subjects, such as the role of the Diaspora in maintaining Ukrainian identity, and an analysis of various aspects of Ukrainian literature and culture, both synchronic and diachronic. The conference at which the papers in this volume were presented was one of the many manifestations of a wish by Ukrainian scholars and community members alike, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Australia.
