This was a remarkable achievement, and one that owed much to activities in Galicia, as Paul Robert Magocsi reveals here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagocsi 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study provides a solid bac\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408350749015,"sku":"9781442613140","price":23.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442613140.jpg?v=1730502551","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-roots-of-ukrainian-nationalism-9781442613140","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
