“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2009 25 2008 Kovaliv Prize in History by Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak Liliana Hentosh, the winner of the 2008 Kovaliv Prize in History, is representative of the new generation of Ukrainian historians. The historian works and lives (with her husband and two-year-old daughter) in Lviv, but her research takes the young woman to the Vatican, to Vienna, and to the United States, as well as to Kyiv. Hers is probably the most original and the most fully researched recent book on aspects of Ukrainian history. In a sense, however, it is also representative of other similar works that are currently published in Ukraine by a crop of historians and social scientists who have also had much exposure to academic life beyond Ukraine. Their probings into various issues of Ukraine's past and current development provide proof that the new generation has made and continues to make full use of the opportunities it has been given. They study Ukraine in its complexity, unafraid of what their research might bring, and capable of presenting their topics within the broader framework such topics deserve. Ватикан і виклики модерності: Східно - європейська політика Папи Бенедикта XV та Українсько - польський конфлікт в Галичині (1914-1923) Львів: ВНТЛ - Класика, 2006 — The Vatican and the Challenges of Modernity: The East- European policy of Pope Benedict XV and the Ukrainian-Polish Conflict in Halychyna (1914- 1923) — breaks new ground for most Ukrainian readers in its comprehensive portrait of the Catholic Church and the role it attempted to play in world affairs. Benedict XV failed to prevent the outbreak of the First World War, but the Vatican was very much inovolved in the manner in which the post- World War I world was shaped. Hentosh places the complex and at times greatly convoluted issues of the diplomacy of the various Ukrainian govern- ments and factions clearly within the whole context. Her work is based largely on previously unavailable first hand documentation. It is particularly enlight- ening to read about Vatican's pressure upon the new Polish Republic for more equitable treatment of the Ukrainian population. She places Ukraine within the cultural and poltical climate of the time and expects her reader to be able to follow her in this deeper journey into both Rome and Ukraine. Hentosh provides us with new information on Vatican activities and, at the same time, is able to elaborate on how various Ukrainian church and secular leaders coped with the increasingly difficult situations in which the so-called “ Ukrainian Ques- tion ” developed. She is able to give us additional information on the complexities of the struggle of Ukrainians to carve out an independent state amid powers that proved to be much stronger than the Ukrainian factions. Encourage your college age children to brush up on their Ukrainian and turn to such books as this one in their research. As a matter of fact, if the last book in the history of Ukraine you read was for Shkola Ukrayinoznavstva, this may be just the volume that could whet your own appetite for history behind the scenes. The Kovaliv Prizes are awarded annually for works in the history or social science dealing with Ukrainian topics in any language, and in literature for literary works written in Ukrainian. The Kovaliv Fund is managed by the UNWLA. May is the month we dedicate to honoring mothers, and we invite our readers to submit a one- paragraph response on the following theme: SOMETHING MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. Your paragraph should tell about the lesson learned and the value of this lesson to your life. Please note that we would like to feature two pages (one in Ukrainian and one in English) with an assortment of appropriate responses on this topic. To be considered for publication your submission must be received no later than March 31. We ask that all contributors include a telephone number to allow us to acknowledge submissions and verify information.
