This is the first book monograph devoted to Anglophone Ukrainian
Canadian children's historical fiction published between 1991 and
2021. It consists of five chapters offering cross-sectional and
interdisciplinary readings of almost forty books - novels,
novellas, picturebooks, short stories, and a graphic novel. The
first three chapters focus on texts about the complex process of
becoming Ukrainian Canadian, ones showcasing the experiences of the
first two waves of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, including
encounters with Indigenous Peoples and the First World War
Internment. The last two chapters are devoted to the significance
of the cultural memory of the Holodomor, the Great Famine of
1932-1933, and the Second World War for Ukrainian Canadians. All of
the chapters demonstrate the entanglements of Ukrainian and
Canadian history and point to the role Anglophone children's
literature can play in preventing the symbolical seeds of memory
from withering. This volume argues that reading, imagining, and
reimagining history can lead to the formation of beyond-textual
next-generation memory. Such memory created through reading is
multi-dimensional as it involves the interpretation of both the
present and the past by an individual whose reality has been
directly or indirectly shaped by the past over which they have no
influence. Next-generation memory is of anticipatory character,
which means that authors of historical fiction anticipate the
readers - both present-day and future - not to have direct links to
any witnesses of the events they discuss and have little knowledge
of the transcultural character of the Ukrainian Canadian diaspora.
