"Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Ukrainians in Canada, this documentary contains 500 photographs, and 180 original poems. Relates in considerable detail pioneer farming at the turn of the century. Resurrects life and learning in one-room country schools. Relates the trials and tribulations of the early settlers. The emphasis they placed upon education, religion, community co-operation, good neighbourliness, strong family unity, and the preservation of cultural values and ideals. Covers the rigors of the Great Depression, starvation in the midst of plenty, the clash of ideologies, the threat of World War II and fascism, and the crushed hopes and dreams of a young educator 20 years later during the McCarthy reaction, for having dared to study the causal factors of human misery and to dream about viable alternatives.... Illustrates that truth is often stranger than fiction, and that out of the ashes of incinerated dreams, new dreams are born and realized." - from dust jacket.

Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Slater has contributed one of the essays. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; This volume richly illustrates the multiple ways in which epigraphy enables historical analysis of the postclassical polis (city-state) across a world of geographically dispersed poleis: from the Black Sea and Asia Minor to Sicily via the Aegean and mainland Greece. The collection of 16 papers looks at themes such as the modes of interaction between polis and ruling powers, the construction of ethnic and social identity, interstate and civil conflict and its resolution, social economics, institutional processes and privileges, polis representations, ethics, and, not least, religious phenomena. The contributions range from "hard epigraphy" to sophisticated conceptual studies of aspects of the postclassical polis, and approach the inscriptions both as textual objects and as artefacts. The aim of this volume is to identify the postclassical polis both as a reality and as a constructed concept, not only a monolithic block, but a result of tension in the exercise of different kinds of powers. All the individual contributions of this collective volume show that the postclassical polis, both as a reality and as a representation, is the result of negotiations, ancient and modern; but they also illustrate how much of our understanding of the polis is built on patient, painstaking work on the inscriptions. ; Oxford Studies In Ancient Documents; 9.3 X 6.4 X 1.2 inches; 400 pages
