VII ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To date, analysis of the political parties that emerged within the post-World War Two Ukrainian emigration is a field that has barely been touched by research. We appreciate the broad range of advice and assistance that has enabled us to tackle this area. The compilers thank the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies for its research grant. We are grateful to the public libraries, listed elsewhere in this report, which supported this project. Professor G. M. Strathern, Library Science School, University of Alberta, was most helpful in choosing the format for the bibliography. A number of institutes which co-operated are community libraries and archives administered by volunteers. We thank them for their support and for preserving documents with which Ukrainian Canadian studies are now being developed. In particular, we wish to thank: M. Chomiak, V. Harakh, 0. Manastyrsky, C. Suchowersky (Edmonton); M. Hnatiw, S. Muchin, M. Spolsky (Winnipeg); A. Bandera, Z. Knysh, M. Korolyshyn, M. Malashchuk, N. Nakoneczny, 0. Pidhainy, 0. Romanyshyn (Toronto); V. Hryshko, R. Ilnytsky, W. Omelchenko, M. Prokop (New York); and E. Kasinec (Berkley, Cal.). The assistance of Chrystia Chomiak, Khrystia Kohut, Assya Berezowsky and other CIUS staff members is also gratefully acknowledged. WRP NC Edmonton 1984 IX INTRODUCTION Emigrants to a new society, though perhaps destitute materially, carry with them social patterns, economic habits, political relations, religious allegiances and cultural norms. Among these factors, emigrant political parties are particular- ly important instruments affecting immigrant adaptation. To demonstrate, this study uses a bibliography to present an overview of post-World War Two emigre political parties. It contains 879 annotated entries consisting of monographs and pamphlets published by or about postwar Ukrainian political parties. Entries are grouped into the four distinct political currents among postwar Ukrainians—monarchist, nationalist, democratic and socialist. Most entries have been assigned to one of eleven different emigre parties within the four currents, on the basis of the publisher and contents of each pamphlet or book. Publication of individual parties that split since 1960 in the emigration (e.g., the U.R.D.P.) are listed together. Since there are also centripetal political tendencies among Ukrainian emigres, categories for multi-party and trans-party political organizations are included. Thus, an attempt has been made to give a global view of the structure of emigre Ukrainian political life. The compilers set four objectives in undertaking this project: to demonstrate the range of emigre literature available (thereby indicating its usefulness to historians, political scientists and sociologists); to produce a framework within which this literature could be organized; within the time availa- ble, to annotate as many entries as possible for the convenience of the English-language researcher; and to stimulate other researchers to extend this introductory work. The first three objectives have been met; others are now invited to develop this research area further. The study of the writings of emigre political parties is important because such parties influence the process of immigrant integration and assimilation. Such elements of emigre political parties as leadership, organizational forms, policies, traditions, ideologies and level of mobilization, are all transferable and viable in the new society. For example, leaders of political parties from the native country can continue to lead when they are abroad. They can use their knowledge of the culture, economic and social relations and the political tensions in their country of origin to influence the way emigrants respond to their new situation. Consequently, an analysis of how emigrants integrate into X POLITICAL WRITINGS OF THE UKRAINIAN EMIGRES emigre their new society cannot ignore the manner and degree by which political parties steer the integration process. Emigre parties are not the usuai type of political party (i.e., there is no government for them to control; they fight few electoral struggles; leadership is more difficult to resolve; and normal political socialization processes are absent). Nevertheless, emigre parties do have their own unique characteristics. Most native and host important is their hybrid nature—a product existing between the societies, affecting both simultaneously. Such parties have structures and activities which reflect concerns originating in the "old" country,^ but whose social and economic location is in the "new" society, where emigre parties are largely irrelevant to the political processes. Rather than expressing the contem- porary social and economic interests of their groups, emigre parties continue to exist socially because of their manifest functions toward their native country and their latent functions in their new context. Ideological views about past experiences from the native country cause emigre parties to maintain a communications system (between leaders and activists, between activists and masses), to promote social coherence through information, education and mobilization, and to use the ideas, myths, traditions, symbols, values and beliefs already present among their followers to achieve their own ends. How does a bibliography of political writings assist the study of the influence of emigre parties on an emigration? First, the citations and annotations allow interested readers to sample the content of the publications. A bibliography enables the readers to compare the world views, ideas and practices of parties that form an emigre political spectrum. Second, an examina- tion of the works of writers and polemicists demonstrates the social and ideological range of the emigre parties, the political campaigns undertaken, and shows which elements of past traditions have taken root in the new ethnic communities. Third, a bibliography is a sociological research tool. By establishing who the publishers and printers were, it reveals the boundaries and conflicts that divide different groups. A bibliography also provides a clearer perception of the connection between emigre political parties and ethnic community front organization. Moreover, by comparing the relative degree of publishing activity by each centre and the scope of publishing and distribution systems, some measure of the size and importance of an emigre political group can also be attained. Finally, a bibliography demonstrates how emigre political parties straddle two societies, affecting both. Ideological polemics between emigrants and the native regime become clearly visible and some judgment can be made about their importance. A bibliography, therefore, is a useful way to begin analyzing the structure of emigre politics. In coming to a new society, emigrants bring with them many personal at- tributes, including political loyalties. Emigre parties are important elements that mobilize a population to resist assimilation and integrate on their own terms. Though just one dimension among many, emigre political organizations and activities serve to define the rationale of emigrants' lives, to build and maintain social cohesion, to give transitional political leaders an opportunity to exercise INTRODUCTION XI their skills and to provide some of the roots and traditions by which succeeding generations often define themselves and measure their own identities. For these reasons, the compilers recognize the important role of emigre political parties and offer the following annotated
