{"product_id":"9780887557682","title":"The Showman And The Ukrainian Cause: Folk Dance, Film, And The Life Of Vasile Avramenko (Studies In Immigration And Culture, 11) (Volume 11)","description":"A quixotic figure, Vasile Avramenko (1895?1981) used folk culture and modern media in a life-long crusade to promote Ukraine's struggle for independence to North American audiences. From his base in New York City, he built a network of folk dance schools and produced musical spectacles to help Ukrainian immigrants sustain their identity. His feature-length Ukrainian language films made in the 1930s with Hollywood director Edgar G. Ulmer, the ?king of ethnic and B movies,??were shown throughout North America. Orest T. Martynowych's The Showman and the Ukrainian Cause is a fascinating portrait of how culture can become a political tool in an immigrant community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eOrest T.
