Book cover of Writing Ukraine.
Description

In Writing Ukraine, Myrna Kostash reflects on how her travels and the war have shaped her understanding of Ukrainian Canadian identity. Rooted in her author-in-residence lecture at Athabasca University, Kostash engages in a self-reflective critique of her work, delving into the connections between history, Canadian identity, and Ukrainian heritage. Overall, the short work has a conversational tone despite the deep topics that it covers, which could make it appealing to even struggling readers. This book blends identity and history with self-reflection, thus deeply enriching lessons centering on critical thinking, empathy, and understanding of different perspectives. Additionally, this work can be used to explore the skill of self-critiquing, or more broadly, to inspire exploration of culture and history. In lessons, the insights provided in the book offer a springboard for conversation on current issues internationally, enabling students to grasp a more critical approach to what is happening in the world.
