“Ukrainians in Argentina, 1897-1950:
The Making of a Community,” by Serge
Cipko. EDMONTON: Canadian Institute of
Ukrainian Studies Press, 2011. Paperback,
$29.95; hardcover, $59.95.
Argentina, the eighth-largest country
in the world, has relied heavily on immigration
to boost its population. In 1914
some 30 percent of the Argentine population
was classified as foreign-born.
Between the 1890s and 1940s tens of
thousands of settlers from Ukraine made
their way to that Southern Hemisphere
republic.
Indeed, Ukrainians constituted the
largest of the Slavic groups to immigrate
to Argentina and formed significant communities
in the provinces of Misiones,
Chaco, Mendoza and Buenos Aires.
“Ukrainians in Argentina, 1897-1950:
The Making of a Community” recounts
the immigrant contribution to Ukrainian
cultural, political, religious, and other
organizations in Argentina. The book is
based on research conducted in the
archives of both Ukraine and Argentina;
it also draws on the immigrant press.
The chapters are arranged chronologically,
the first dealing with the initial, pre-
1914 wave of Ukrainian settlement and
the last with the third wave that came
after World War II. Two middle chapters
are case studies of two organizations
founded in the interwar period.
The author’s examination of ties developed
with Ukrainians in other countries
also provides insights into the nature and
activity of organizations created in neighbouring
Paraguay and Uruguay.
The author of this study, Serge Cipko,
is coordinator of the Ukrainian Diaspora
Studies Initiative at CIUS. He is the author
of “St. Josaphat’s Ukrainian Catholic
Cathedral, Edmonton: A History (1902–
2002)” and co-author (with Glenna
Roberts) of “One-Way Ticket: The Soviet
Return-to-the-Homeland Campaign,
1955–1960.” He is also co-editor (with
Natalie Kononenko) of “Champions of
Philanthropy: Peter and Doris Kule and
Their Endowments.”
“Ukrainians in Argentina” is available
in paperback ($29.95) and hardcover
($59.95) (plus taxes and shipping; outside
Canada, prices are in U.S. dollars).
