Exploring a rich array of folk songs, poetry and stories, trans-Atlantic correspondence, family histories, and rituals of homecoming and hosting that developed in the Ukrainian diaspora and Ukraine during the twentieth century, Natalia Khanenko-Friesen asserts that many important aspects of modern ethnic identity form, develop, and reveal themselves not only through the diaspora's continued yearning for the homeland, but also in a homeland's deeply felt connection to its diaspora. Yet, she finds each group imagines the \"otherland\" and ethnic identity differently, leading to misunderstandings between Ukrainians and their ethnic-Ukrainian \"brothers and sisters\" abroad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An innovative exploration of the persistence of vernacular culture in the modern world, \u003ci\u003eUkrainian Otherlands\u003c\/i\u003e, amply informed by theory and fieldwork, will appeal to those interested in folklore, ethnic and diaspora studies, modernity, migration, folk psychology, history, and cultural anthropology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia Khanenko-Friesen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299303446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299303440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Natalia Khanenko-Friesen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913579823359,"sku":"9780299303440","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_938cc2ad-a183-4226-b578-55af2b8776af.jpg?v=1680621170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ukrainian-otherlands-natalia-khanenko-friesen-9780299303440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
