DOUKHOBORS IN PRINT

Until recently there was little printed material on the Doukhobors aside from source materials in archival and historical references in Russian. For a survey of past history of Doukhobors in print, see ‘Doukhobors and the Media’, presented at the University of Ottawa and available for download at http://www.larrysdesk.com/doukhobors-and-the-media.html
There is a further survey paper entitled The Changing Faces of Doukhobor Culture, http://www.larrysdesk.com/changing-faces-of-doukhobor-culture.html which deals with other media.
Today there are various books and articles in scholarly journals available. Most note worthy is the development of Doukhobors writing about themselves and their culture whereas previously, they had been written ‘about'. Academic interest and self publishing has assisted in this.

Growing Up Doukhobor
This 20 page booklet is a compendium of stories, poems and reminisces of growing up as Doukhobors in a predominantly white Anglo Saxon society surrounded by class consciousness and snobbery with a built in attitude of superiority. A wide range of ages is covered and one can discern a difference between those elders who lived in isolation within the Doukhobor community to those who grew up in an integrated society. A wealth of information on how an ethnic minority struggled to keep their identity.
