Ukraine in Histories and Stories: Essays by Ukrainian Intellectuals (Ukrainian Voices)

This fascinating collection of texts by contemporary Ukrainian writers, historians, philosophers, political analysts, and opinion leaders combines reflections on Ukraine's history―or histories―and analyses of the present as well as conceptual ideas and life stories. The authors present a multi-faceted image of Ukrainian memory and reality: from the Holodomor to Maidan, from Russian aggression to cultural diversity, from the depth of the past to the complexity of the present.
Essential reading for anyone interested in Ukraine.

The contributors of this book are prominent Ukrainian historians, writers, philosophers, political analysts, and intellectuals.

Editorial Reviews

This book includes everyone from internationally renowned academics like Harvard's Serhii Plokhiy to never-before-translated poets, that seek to articulate Ukraine to the wider world. [… It] gives Ukrainians a chance to explain their country themselves, and the Ukraine that emerges is uncannily relevant at a time when so many countries are undergoing identity crises―not least the United States. -- Peter Pomerantsev, journalist, author, and TV producer, in The American Interest
