But Zembrzycki brilliantly organizes her book so that oral histories show us individual lives: the women who refused to talk about domestic violence but could not leave out all signs of it; women who gleaned a feeling of belonging by working with other women, often to raise money for the Catholic Church; octogenarians who fondly remembered themselves as teenagers going to dances and eating fried chicken sandwiches early in the morning; men who described the excessive heat in the mines that caused many to pass out. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study is grounded in careful research in both written records and oral histories. It is also deeply personal and unforgettable. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Valerie Yow, Independent Scholar * Ontario History Review *\u003cbr\u003e“Who has not struggled to understand the older people in their lives,” asks Zembrzycki by way of her conclusion to this tremendously interesting and thoughtful book. This study provides a good, honest reckoning with an unusual research process. In this sense, it does all historians a service because it makes obvious those parents, grandparents, and other older people who almost invariably inspire – but almost never receive more than a passing mention – in the work of academic historians. -- Karen Dubinsky, Queen's University * Canadian Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Building: Recreating Home and Community\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Solidifying: Organized Ukrainian Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Contesting: Confrontational Identities\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Cultivating: Depression-Era Households\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Remembering: Baba’s Sudbury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix; Notes; Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404929868119,"sku":"9780774826969","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774826969.jpg?v=1730488090","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/according-to-baba-a-collaborative-oral-history-of-sudburys-ukrainian-community-shared-oral-and-public-history-9780774826969","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
