REVIEW ARTICLESA Bibliographic Key to Ukrainian StudiesMARTA TARNAWSKYUKRAINE: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDE TO ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PUBLICATIONS. By Bohdan S. Wynar. Englewood,Colo.: Ukrainian Academic Press, 1990. xiii, 406 pp. $85.00 withinthe U.S., $102.00 elsewhere.Ukrainian studies have come of age in North America. A decade or two ago, mostscholarly activity was centered in and oriented toward the Ukrainian community andmost publications were in Ukrainian. Today, Ukrainian studies have moved into thescholarly mainstream, to American and Canadian universities. At the present timethere are two Ukrainian research centers (at Harvard University and at the Universityof Alberta) and two scholarly university journals in English (Harvard UkrainianStudies and the Journal of Ukrainian Studies). A score of scholarly publicationshave been published by American and Canadian university presses. Internationalscholarly conferences and workshops are a common occurrence (including a regularannual conference at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). Now, finally,there is a bibliographic key to all this scholarly output published in the Englishlanguage.Wynar's Ukraine: a Bibliographic Guide to English-Language Publications 1 isobviously modeled on such classics of American bibliography as Mudge, 2 Winchell,3 and Sheeny. 4 It is an essential, an indispensable tool for scholars, researchers,students, and journalists. With interest in Ukraine rising not only in scholarly circlesbut also in the press and in the population at large, Wynar's guide will be a referencebook frequently sought in libraries and newspaper editorial offices. It is an importantpioneering effort and, like the original Mudge, it is destined to be but the first editionin a series that, hopefully, will be regularly revised, updated, and improved.Only a man of Wynar's vision, industriousness, and experience could haveattempted a task of such magnitude. Bohdan S. Wynar (born in Lviv, Ukraine, in1926 and a U.S. citizen since 1957) has a Ph.D. in economics from the University ofMunich and an M.A. in library science from the University of Denver.
