Invoked by regional actors and international commentators, the \u201cintegral\u201d Ukrainian nationalism of the 1930s has moved to the center of debates about Eastern Europe, but the history of this divisive ideology remains poorly understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This timely book by <strong>Trevor Erlacher<\/strong> is the first English-language biography of the doctrine\u2019s founder, Dmytro Dontsov (1883\u20131973), the \u201cspiritual father\u201d of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Organizing his research of the period around Dontsov\u2019s life, Erlacher has written a global intellectual history of Ukrainian integral nationalism from late imperial Russia to postwar North America, with relevance for every student of the history of modern Europe and the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the circumstances of Dontsov\u2019s itinerant, ninety-year life, this microhistorical approach allows for a geographically, chronologically, and thematically broad yet personal view on the topic. Dontsov shaped and embodied Ukrainian politics and culture as a journalist, diplomat, literary critic, publicist, and ideologue, progressing from heterodox Marxism, to avant-garde fascism, to theocratic traditionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing upon archival research in Ukraine, Poland, and Canada, this book contextualizes Dontsov\u2019s works, activities, and identity formation diachronically, reconstructing the cultural, political, urban, and intellectual milieus within which he developed and disseminated his worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trevor Erlacher<\/strong> is Academic Advisor at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucis.pitt.edu\/crees\/\">Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Pittsburgh<\/a>.
