Salt and Braided Bread : Ukrainian Life in Canada

CAD $60.00

This is a cultural and social portrait of Ukrainian-Canadian life, organized regionally to reflect the development of Ukrainian communities across the country. Covering Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, and British Columbia, the book offers insight into the distinct experiences and contributions of Ukrainian Canadians within each region.

The offering of salt and bread – symbols of the essential of life – is a ritual greeting that Ukrainians extend to guests. This tradition provides the title for an affectionate illustrated portrait of Ukrainian life in Canada . Tracing the historical development of Ukraianian-Canadian society in each region of the country, Jars Balan concentrates on the background forces that have shaped it, while 98 handsome colour photographs present a vivid picture of the community.
