The book Ukrainian-Jewish Relations in Historical Perspective contains
papers from a historic conference on Ukrainian-Jewish relations that was
held at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, in October 1983.
Ambitious in scope, the conference brought together a sizable group of
eminent North American and Israeli scholars who addressed the highly
complex history of relations between Jews and Ukrainians. The essays in
this collection, which reflect the dynamic and often controversial nature
of the conference, range in time from the seventh to the twentieth century
and cover subjects in both Eastern Europe and Canada. The book also
contains transcripts of two discussions: one on issues arising from the
conference panels, the other concerning Ukrainian-Jewish relations in Canada.
The McMaster conference was the first major effort to address difficult
problems of Ukrainian-Jewish relations in a broader academic context. The
past quarter century has seen dramatic transformations in the geopolitics
of both Ukraine and Israel, as well as an enormous expansion of research on
Ukrainian-Jewish relations by scholars from many countries working in a
variety of fields. Evidence of this expansion is contained in the select
bibliography of book publications that has been added to this third
edition. These new developments and research notwithstanding, the essays
gathered in this book have retained their importance and relevance to
contemporary readers, and some of them still represent the most
authoritative discussions of their particular subjects.
This is one of the volumes on Ukraine and its neighbours published by the
Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press. Other volumes deal with
Polish-Ukrainian relations (Poland and Ukraine: Past and Present),
Russian-Ukrainian relations (Ukraine and Russia in their Historical
Encounter and Culture, Nation and Identity: The Ukrainian-Russian Encounter
[1600-1945]), and German-Ukrainian relations (German-Ukrainian Relations in
Historical Perspective).
