    Peripheral Europeans: The History of the Racialization of Slavs in Canada by Jakub Burkowicz M.A., Queen’s University, 2007 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2004 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Jakub Burkowicz 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Jakub Michał Burkowicz Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) Title: Peripheral Europeans: The History of the Racialization of Slavs in Canada Examining Committee: Chair: Dara Culhane, Professor Wendy Chan Senior Supervisor Professor Dany Lacombe Supervisor Professor Robert Menzies Supervisor Professor Emeritus Habiba Zaman Internal Examiner Professor Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Renisa Mawani External Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: August 16, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the racialization of the Slavs in Canada from the end of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th. Utilizing Michel Foucault’s and Ernesto Laclau’s formulations of discourse, Berger and Luckmann’s social constructionism, and, broadly, poststructural theory, the principal aim of this work is to demonstrate that during this period Canadians recognized the Slavs as a distinct, homogenous, denationalized racial type. To this end, this dissertation draws on immigration, eugenic, political, journalistic, art, legal, literary, and other discourses in order to trace the discursive formation of race in Canada while considering how such a formation constructed the racialized figure of the Slav. Historians working in the field of Whiteness Studies have established the racialization of various Europeans outside of whiteness in the United States.

  • Beginnings of Emigration Before Overseas Emigration Captured the Imagination of the Ukrainians, Their Experience with Large-Scale Migration Was Limited
    Beginnings of Emigration Before overseas emigration captured the imagination of the Ukrainians, their experience with large-scale migration was limited. In Russian Ukraine, the only significant migration began in the late 19th century when the government encouraged colonization of newly annexed territories in Central Asia and the Far East. The overseas emigration from the Russian Empire was largely limited to the persecuted Jews. In Austro-Hungary, seasonal migration, in search of work beyond its borders, was widely practiced. The Ukrainian inhabitants of Transcarpathia were the first to leave for the United States in the 1870s, destined for the coal mines of Pennsylvania. The first group of Ukrainians from Galicia, lured by the rumours of well-paying jobs, followed in 1879. These early immigrants were by and large experienced migrant labourers whose original intention was to return home, after making fortunes in America. Attracted by exaggerated offers of free lands and free passage, between 24,000 and 30,000 impoverished peasants from Galicia left for Brazil in the 1880s. Their initial illusions were quickly and painfully shattered by the radically different climatic conditions, tropical diseases, hard contract labour on plantations and a corrupt immigration bureaucracy. Anguished letters home caused concern among the intelligentsia and prompted Joseph Oleskiw, a professor of agriculture in Lviv, to investigate alternative destinations for resettlement. In September 1891, two peasants from the village of Nebyliv, Wasyl Eleniak and Ivan Pillipiw, became the first documented Ukrainian settlers in Canada when they began homesteading in Alberta. Their news that plenty of virtually free land was available for homesteading caused a sensation at home.
