Cossacks in Jamaica, Ukraine at the Antipodes: Essays in Honor of Marko Pavlyshyn

by Alessandro Achilli (Editor), Serhy Yekelchyk (Editor), Dmytro Yesypenko (Editor)

Overview

This bilingual collection of essays celebrates Marko Pavlyshyn’s outstanding contribution to the study of modern and contemporary Ukrainian literature and culture. With its many methodological approaches and the variety of periods, authors and texts that it analyzes, the book reflects and builds on Pavlyshyn’s willingness to modernize our understanding of Ukrainian literature as an instrument of communication between authors, readers and the nation from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Hopefully these essays will inspire readers and scholars to continue their journey through Ukrainian culture, in a context profoundly marked by the role of literary texts as agents of nation building and social evolution.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“This volume is a remarkable achievement and a resounding statement of the richness and diversity of Ukrainian studies today. Containing contributions not only from Ukraine but from all corners of the globe, the collection’s scope is quite breathtaking: from the baroque to the post-modern, from innovative postcolonial readings and intriguing comparative perspectives to exhaustive historical studies, from language politics to poetry and historiography—few stones are left unturned in this comprehensive journey through the landscape of Ukrainian culture in its historical and contemporary contexts. Only a book of such scope and quality could be a fitting tribute to Marko Pavlyshyn, whose work has defined the study of Ukrainian literature for decades, and without whom much of the work in this volume would not have been possible.” —Uilleam Blacker, Lecturer in the Comparative Culture of Russia and Eastern Europe, UniversityCollege London

Editorial Reviews

Thanks to the efforts of the volume’s three editors … we all are fortunate enough to have this superb collection covering a truly wide range of topics and interests in the fields of Ukraine-related literary studies, history, and, generally speaking, the humanities. In addition to being a special gift for the honoree, these essays demonstrate rather compellingly what happens in the field of Ukrainian studies now. … Owing to the determined efforts of the editors, this volume will be specifically beneficial for any academic institutions, research institutions, or universities that have interests in Eastern Europe and, specifically, in Ukraine.”
