folklorica-23115	Voloshyna, Iryna	Kononenko, Natalie O. Ukrainian Ritual on the Prairies: Growing a Ukrainian Canadian Identity	2024	2	.pdf	application/pdf	905	34	42	In Chapter Four, “Ukrainian Wedding on the Prairies,” Reviews 74 FOLKLORICA 2024, Vol. XXVIII Kononenko also describes modifications and adaptations of traditional Ukrainian rituals, like introducing the wedding fruitcake or even a fake cake made out of Styrofoam (104) alongside the korovai—a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread— or a bride’s white wedding dress instead of Ukrainian traditional clothes that were “much maligned by Anglo-Canadians, who saw it as another marker of the uncivilized, even brutish, nature of Ukrainian immigrants” (118). She delineates three types of Ukrainian nationalist ideologies: 1) “the nationalism of Ukrainians living in the country itself who are seeking to define and promote Ukrainian identity,” 2) “the nationalism of Ukrainians living abroad, who sought to safeguard what they viewed as a pure Ukrainian culture for export back into Ukraine once the country was free,” and 3) nationalism that is “focused on Canada rather than Ukraine and one that looks to life in the present rather than trying to preserve or resurrect the culture of the past… nationalism without dogma”—that is, vernacular nationalism (10-11).	cache/folklorica-23115.pdf	txt/folklorica-23115.txt
