Trade Review"Hinther’s work successfully recounts the history of the Ukrainian left in Canada, which used a combination of cultural and political practices to demonstrate their individuality within the Canadian left more broadly." -- Katelyn Arac, Queen's University * The Canadian Historical Review, vol 99 4, December 2018 *
"Rhonda Hinther’s book is a warm testimonial to how the heirs of the pro-communist minority now feel about themselves and their historical place within left-wing Canadian politics." -- Thomas M. Prymak, University of Toronto * Slavic Review, vol 78 no 2 *
