| Abstract | When the powers of Europe were at their prime, present-day
Ukraine was divided between the Austrian and Russian empires, each
imposing different political, social, and cultural models on its
subjects. This inevitably led to great diversity in the lives of
its inhabitants, shaping modern Ukraine into the multiethnic
country it is today. Making innovative use of methods of social and
cultural history, gender studies, literary theory, and sociology,
Laboratory of Modernity explores the history of Ukraine
throughout the long nineteenth century and offers a unique study of
its pluralistic society, culture, and political scene. Despite
being subjected to different and conflicting power models during
the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Ukraine was not only
imagined as a distinct entity with a unique culture and history but
was also realized as a set of social and political institutions.
The story of modern Ukraine is geopolitically complex, encompassing
the historical narratives of several major communities - including
ethnic Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, and Russians - who for centuries
lived side by side. The first comprehensive study of
nineteenth-century Ukraine in English, Laboratory of
Modernity traces the historical origins of some of the most
pressing issues facing Ukraine and the international community
today. |
