Salt and Braided Bread: Ukrainian Life in Canada

The offering of salt and bread – symbols of the essential of life – is a ritual greeting that Ukrainians extend to guests. This tradition provides the title for an affectionate illustrated portrait of Ukrainian life in Canada . Tracing the historical development of Ukraianian-Canadian society in each region of the country, Jars Balan concentrates on the background forces that have shaped it, while 98 handsome colour photographs present a vivid picture of the community.
