John-Paul Himka

I am a specialist in Ukrainian history working at the University of Alberta. Having been at it for quite a few decades, I've written about different topics. Three of my books were about Galicia under the Habsburgs in the late nineteenth century. My favorite book came out in 2009: Last Judgment Iconography in the Carpathians. It took me ten years to write, and it's pretty original. Lots of religion and religious lore run through my writings. But now I am working on a book on the Ukrainian nationalists and the Holocaust. It gets me into hot water with my community but someone has to say these things. Many of my articles can be found on the net.
