Ukrainians, originally known as Ruthenians, began arriving in the Philadelphia area at the end of the 1800s. Like all immigrants, they were not spared considerable hardships in their pursuit of the American dream. Finding stable employment was an ongoing endeavor. After work they gathered around their churches, indisputably the centerpiece of their immigrant communities. Here they procured much-needed support from their fellow countrymen. Theirs was a common purpose: to preserve in this new world their cherished customs and traditions. Thus their societies abounded with schools, choirs, bands, dance groups, reading rooms, and church and fraternal organizations. With time, more Ukrainians appeared, with the largest group arriving after World War II to escape the horrors of war-torn Europe and start anew. Ukrainians of Greater Philadelphia documents how each new generation of immigrants added to the kaleidoscope that became the Ukrainian community in and around the City of Brotherly Love.

Kuropas portrays the resistance of Ukrainians to disappearing in the American melting pot. He shows how American Ukrainians developed from Rusyns with an essentially religiocultural identity into a distinct ethnonationality. Beginning with the European and American roots of this ethnic group, he traces the evolution of the Ukrainian Americans and their religious, political, and cultural aspirations. With 32 pages of historical photographs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
