556 ReviewsUKRAINIAN CANADIANS, MULTICULTURALISM, AND SEPARATISM:AN ASSESSMENT. Edited by Manoly R. Lupul. Edmonton: Publishedfor The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies by TheUniversity of Alberta Press, 1978. 177 pp. $4.95, paper.CHANGING REALITIES: SOCIAL TRENDS AMONG UKRAINIAN CANA-DIANS. Edited by W. Roman Petryshyn. Edmonton: The CanadianInstitute of Ukrainian Studies, 1980. 249 pp. $7.95, paper.The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has initiated annual conferencesto promote the study of Ukrainian Canadians. The two books under reviewcontain the proceedings of the first such two conferences sponsored by theinstitute.The theme of the first conference, "Ukrainian Canadians, Multiculturalism,and Separatism: An Assessment," held 9-11 September 1977 at the Universityof Alberta, was occasioned by the Party Québécois victory in the Quebecprovincial elections (15 November 1976). By choosing to assess its impact onthe future of Canada generally and on Ukrainian Canadians specifically, theconference organizers attracted considerable interest. Representing Québécoissentiments was Camille Laurin, Minister of Cultural Development inQuebec. Representing the Federalist point of view was Keith Spicer, formerCommissioner of Official Languages in Ottawa. Other participants wereUkrainian Canadian academics from Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.The first volume commences as if it were a transcript of the conference, witha brief introduction to the volume and opening remarks by Manoly R. Lupul,director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. Addressing theconference on Québécois policies, Minister Laurin spoke about misrepresentationsby the anglophone press, and then responded to questions about thefuture of French Canadians outside Quebec, minorities inside Quebec, and theprovince as a whole.Of the formal presentations, Ivan M. Myhul spoke on "Ethnic Minoritiesand the Nationality Policy of the Parti Québécois." Roman Serbyn gave acomplimentary analysis entitled "Quebec's Ethnic Communities in the Wakeof the Péquiste Electoral victory." Roman Petryshyn, describing "UkrainianCanadians in Social Transition," linked the dynamics of assimilation to socialstratification. In "The Federal Policy of Multiculturalism and the Ukrainian-Canadian Community," Bohdan Bociurkiw described the interplay betweenpoliticians and influential Ukrainian Canadians in shaping the federal multiculturalpolicy. The discussions arising from these four papers are not included inthe publication.The remaining text reverts to informal presentations. Keith Spicer, in thebanquet address, presented the federalist view of the Canadian government'sofficial languages policy and commented on future political development.
Reviews 557Walter S. Tarnopolsky in his address, "Multiculturalism — The Basic Issues,"indicated that independence for Quebec would jeopardize multiculturalism inwhat remained of Canada. Manoly R. Lupul concluded the presentations witha talk on "Canada's Options in a Time of Political Crisis and Their Implicationsfor Multiculturalism." He argued that separatism would break upCanada, while the present federal policy of multiculturalism within the bilingualframework would continue to antagonize Quebecers and breed indifferenceto multiculturalism. Only regional federalism, in which bilingualismoutside Quebec refers to all languages other than English, is, according toDr. Lupul, a viable option. Finally, a panel discussion elaborated on the mainidea presented at the conference — namely, that Canadians can best achieve asense of national unity through diversity.The second conference, "Social Trends Among Ukrainian Canadians," wasoccasioned by the completion (1977) of the "Statistical Compendium on theUkrainians in Canada, 1891-1976" which provides much data for analysis. Thepublished proceedings of the conference, convened at the University ofOttawa, 15-16 September 1978, includes eleven papers and an address.The editor, Roman Petryshyn, introduces the collection by placing UkrainianCanadians within the context of the Canadian multicultural mosaic. Inpart 1, "Ethnicity and the Census," William Darcovich introduced the StatisticalCompendium and summarized the basic trends its data reveal. John M.Kralt surveyed the definitions of ethnic origin applied in Canadian censusesfrom 1871 to 1981.In part 2, "Economic Status," Oleh Wolowyna analyzed "Trends in theSocio-Economic Status of Ukrainians in Canada, 1921-1971." He observed aninverse relationship between upward social mobility and language assimilation.In a related study, added to the volume after the conference, Warren E.Kalbach and Madeline A. Richard used the Individual File of the 1971 Censusof Canada Public Use Sample Tapes to find that Ukrainian Canadians whomove away from their ethnic churches are more likely to lose the Ukrainianlanguage and become upwardly mobile. Wsevolod W. Isajiw examined thecomparatively low number of Ukrainians in business occupations in Canada.In part 3, "Social Trends," Leo Driedger, presenting "Urbanization ofUkrainians in Canada: Consequences for Ethnic Identity," concluded thaturbanizing Ukrainians are losing ethnic identity more rapidly, but suggestedthat they may be shifting their identity to new institutional and symbolicfactors. Olga M. Kuplowska analyzed the data of the Non-Official LanguagesStudy of the federal government to describe "Language Retention PatternsAmong Ukrainian Canadians." Jean E. Wolowyna described "Trends inMarital Status and Fertility of Ukrainians in Canada" (unfortunately, heranalysis was marred by a graphic error: the tabulated data show that religionrather than place of residence was the greatest independent variable affectingfamily size).
