To the surprise of many, the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991,
and out of its ruins arose an independent Ukraine. This was a
remarkable achievement, and one that owed much to activities in
Galicia, as Paul Robert Magocsi reveals here. Magocsi begins with a
brief historical survey of Galicia, where Ukrainian national and
cultural interests have long flourished. His subsequent essays
focus on the role played by Galicia during the nineteenth century,
when Ukrainians were struggling for recognition as a distinct
nationality. He places Galicia in the larger context of Ukrainian
and eastern European politics, then follows with studies of the
nuts and bolts of nation building - language, culture, ideology and
so on. He also explores the influence of the Habsburg Empire in
creating unique conditions for Ukraine's national and social
revival, and considers the impact of both Habsburg and Soviet rule
on the Ukrainian national psyche. This study provides a solid
background for understanding nineteenth-century Galicia as the
historic Piedmont of the Ukrainian national revival. It is
essential reading for historians, public-policy makers, and all
those interested in regional differentiation within Europe's second
largest country - Ukraine.
