Overcoming the Past: A Global History of Ukraine

This book is the culmination of 15 years of research by Professor Yaroslav Hrytsak. The author meticulously analyzes the past and calls for the co-creation of a modern Ukraine. He strives to understand himself and help readers understand what is happening to us here and now, and what the future of the country can be.
The combination of the global and the local is an urgent need for those seeking a way out of the crisis of modernity. This book offers exactly this approach to understanding contemporary Ukraine.
The author argues that Ukraine is a product of globalization and modernization, with all their dark sides, including mass violence. However, the past is not a prison. It always leaves room for choice.
