"There is no comprehensive study of the Canadian reaction to the
famine in the English or Ukrainian language, [...] so this is a
major contribution. It is an interesting story and an important one
for Canadian and Ukrainian history." -- Roman Serbyn In 1932-33, a
famine -- the Holomodor ("extermination by hunger") -- raged
through Ukraine, killing millions. Although the Soviet government
denied it, news about the catastrophe got out. Through an extensive
analysis of the newspapers, political speeches, and protests,
Starving Ukraine examines both Canada's reporting of the famine and
the country's response to it, highlighting the importance of
journalists and protestors. "Cipko has assembled a rich collection
of documents about the dissemination in Canada of news about the
Great Ukrainian Famine and how Canadians ... reacted to this
information. He has also compiled a bibliography of historical
literature on that tragedy presented as famine, genocide and
Holodomor. ... The work [makes] an important contribution to the
study of Canadian mainstream and ethnic newspapers, how they
handled information on foreign catastrophes, and how the two
domains of journalism interacted." - Roman Serbyn, editor of Famine
in Ukraine, 1932-1933 "[A]n important contribution." - Thomas M.
Prymak, author of Gathering a Heritage: Ukrainian, Slavonic, and
Ethnic Canada and the USA
