Ukrainians in Michigan EPUB

Description
This history of Ukrainian immigrants in Michigan and their American descendants examines both the choices people made and the social forces that impelled their decisions to migrate and to make new homes in the state.
Michigan's Ukrainians came in four waves, each unique in time and character, beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing in the twenty-first.
Detroit attracted many of them with the opportunities it offered in its booming automobile industry.
Yet others put down roots in cities and towns across the state.
Wherever they settled, they established churches and community centers and continued to practice the customs of their homeland.
Many Ukrainian Americans have made significant contributions to Michigan and the United States, including those who are showcased in this book.
This comprehensive text also highlights cultural practices and traditional foods cherished by community members.
