Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/journalofukraini232cana Introduction The cluster of four articles on Galicia in this issue of the Journal of Ukrainian Studies has its origin in a conference on “Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians in Galicia: 1772-1918” sponsored by the Institut fiir die Wissenschaften vom Menschen and held in Vienna on 26-28 June 1992. However, none of them were actually presented as papers at that conference. As one of the conference’s four “project co-ordinators,” I was charged with assembling articles to fill out the projected volume of conference papers. I had heard Jolanta Pgkacz’s paper at the University of Alberta and was impressed by her conceptualization of the “cultural public” of Galicia. It was a fresh approach, partly inspired by her explorations of French socio-cultural history, and I asked for it for the conference volume. I had directed Mark Baker’s M.A. thesis, which had a chapter on Lewis Namier and the problem of Eastern Galicia after World War I. Thematically it filled a major gap in the volume, since the war and its aftermath were absent from other contributions. Mark’s contribution fit the volume profile particularly well because the relations among Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews in Galicia figured so prominently in it. After completing his M.A. thesis, Mark moved on to Harvard and is working there on a Ph.D. dissertation on the Ukrainian revolution. In fact, he was doing archival research in Ukraine when he thoroughly revised his original text for inclusion in the volume. Feodosii Steblii, the dean of Galician historians in Ukraine, had participated in the Vienna conference, but had delivered a different paper than the one he eventually submitted for publication. I had been charged with acquiring his final Ukrainian text and seeing that it was translated into English. After accepting these three contributions for publication in the conference volume, I was informed that it was not going to be published as such; instead, most of the conference presentations, supplemented with additional articles on the history of Galician Jews, were to appear in a special issue of Polin, a journal devoted to Polish-Jewish relations. Consequently I had three excellent articles on Galicia that I was free to publish elsewhere, and I submitted them to the Journal of Ukrainian Studies. Encouraged by Roman Senkus, the Journal’s editor, I supplemented these original texts with a piece of my own that I thought made some interesting points on the formation and transformation of social strata; it had been published 2 previously, but only in Italian, in Quaderni storici 28, no. 3 (December 1993): 657-78. The particularities of Galicia remain important today. It is hoped that this cluster of articles will stimulate additional reflection and research on this aspect of the Ukrainian legacy. John-Paul Himka Journal of Ukrainian Studies 23, no. 2 (Winter 1998) The Transformation and Formation of Social Strata and Their Place in the Ukrainian National Movement in Nineteenth- Century Galicia John-Paul Himka Resting like an epaulet on the shoulder of the Carpathians, the Austrian crownland of Galicia affords rich material for the study of nationality in nineteenth-century east-central Europe. It was home to three peoples who might be regarded as archetypical representatives of the east-central European nations. Clustered more in the western part of the province, around Cracow, were the Poles, who retained a traditional elite—the gentry (szlachta )—and a strong tradition of statehood from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. They thus constituted a “historical nation” like the Hungarians; they owned the large estates throughout the crownland,
