Journal of Ukrainian Studies 28, no. 2 (Winter 2003) Introduction Most of the articles in this special Ukrainian-Canadian-theme issue of the Journal of Ukrainian Studies were first presented at the conference titled “A Rock and a Hard Place: Ukrainians in Canada from the Great War to the Cold War” in Edmonton on 11-13 April 2002. Organized by the CIUS’s Ukrainian Canadian Programme, this gathering brought together a substantial number of the country’s Ukrainian Canadianists, along with a few from further reaches. In the wake of what turned out to be a string of interesting and stimulating sessions, conference organizer Jars Balan and I decided that it would be worthwhile to publish at least part of the proceedings of that event. Hence the call for papers for this special issue. Our end product is this modest, but vital, addition to the scholarly literature about Ukrainians in Canada. It is something of a truism that a significant amount of the available scholarly work on Ukrainians in Canada has been stimulated by academic conferences or symposia, and this collection is no exception. The focus of the conference and most of this issue is the interwar period in Ukrainian Canadian life. In her introduction to an earlier Ukrainian-Canadian-theme issue of the Journal of Ukrainian Studies (vol. 16, nos. 1-2 [Summer-Winter 1991]), Frances Swyripa noted that this era “has been curiously ignored” in contrast to the pioneer era. That issue sought to rectify the problem somewhat by focusing on interwar topics. Since then some important work has been done on the interwar years, but even a dozen years later the collection edited by Dr. Swyripa remains the best single source on Ukrainian life in that period. For this reason, Orest Martynowych’s follow-up volume to his Ukrainians in Canada: The For- mative Period, 1891-1924, which will bring the Ukrainian-Canadian story up to 1947, is most welcome and much needed.
