Under the Southern Cross: A Collection of Accounts and Reminiscences About the Ukrainian Immigration in Brazil, 1891-1914 - Morski, Jeffrey Picknicki

Clean, tight; some wear to corners; light scratches to front cover; name inside back cover; otherwise very minimal wear; Beginning in 1891, peaking in 1895 and continuing until the outbreak of WWI in 1914, the "First Wave" of Ukrainian immigration to Brazil brought some 45,000 pioneers to settle in the country's sparsely populated southern frontier regions in search for a better life. What was their journey like? What were their first thoughts and impressions as they arrived in Brazil? How did they adjust to an environment and social structure that was so different from their own? Here are the immigrants' stories in their own words, told as only they could tell them.
