Dissenso e proteste nella diaspora ucraina in America settentrionale dopo il 1968

Abstract

This article presents the story of two Ukrainian student organizations in the USA, the New York City Ukrainian Students Hromada (Community) and the Committee for the Defense of Soviet Political Prisoners. Born in the late 1960s and early 1970s, these two groups reveal the different conception of national belonging of the second generation of the third Ukrainian migratory wave in America. The action of these groups had a strong transnational dimension, capable of attracting groups of young Ukrainians also in other countries, and reveals the influence that the dissidents in Soviet Ukraine had on the development of the movement for the defense of human rights in the West.
