Kulyk Keefer reconciles her memoirs with crucial events in the history of Ukraine against the backdrop of the formation of Ukrainian statehood after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The translation of Kulyk Keefer’s Honey and Ashes will provoke the Ukrainian reader’s critical thinking around burning ethnical issues of identity, survivability, religion, the history of emigration, and historical memory that have increasingly found renewed relevance in the human sciences of the 21^st century.
