| description | Communities of Memory of the Holodomor in the USA and Canada in the 1950s-80s
The main goal of this article is to show how the Ukrainian community in North America, thanks to cultivating the memory of a marginal event from the point of view of American history, managed to appear in the social life of the USA and Canada. Here I use the concept of ‘community of memory’ to emphasize those Ukrainian communities in the USA and Canada that are of utmost importance in the commemoration of Holodomor. They also managed to retain this event’s memory in many other competing memories, dabbling in the memory of their identity as American Ukrainian. Therefore, in the following sections of the article, I will attempt to answer why it was the diaspora that undertook a tremendous effort to commemorate Holodomor’s victims and the course of that process for years. Finally, I employ critical analysis of media discourses. Moreover, I will consider the Holodomor generation’s role in cultivating that memory and emergence of the ‘communities of memory’. |
