The activity of memory institutions of the USA Ukrainians aimed at preserving national identity (based on the analysis of the Diaspora’s periodicals)
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The article is devoted to the activity of Ukrainian museums in the United States in the context of preserving Diaspora’s national identity. The main aspects of functioning of the Ukrainian Museum in New York as well as the Ukrainian National Museum of Chicago have been revealed due to the analysis of Ukrainian periodicals («Svoboda», «Chas I Podii», «Ukrainske Slovo», «NOVAhazeta», «Mist»). It has been estimated that these museums serve as scientific, cultural and educational centers, which not only assist to the accumulation of the national spiritual culture, but also help to resist to assimilative and globalization factors through the elaborated system of activities. These institutions are very important in terms of preserving not only our modern history, but also the history of Ukrainian immigration to the USA. It has been established that Ukrainian cultural life in the USA is not some closed zone due to open communication policy of the surveyed memory institutions and the Ukrainian Diaspora community is not isolated in their ethnic circle, instead it is opened for the perception by other nations.
