The centenary of Doukhobor settlement in Canada (1899-1999) marks a unique chapter in the story of this country and its peoples. Twenty-six contributors from Canada, Russia, Japan and the United States offer important insights into the legacy of the Doukhobors with discussions on Doukhobor philosophy and spirituality, song traditions and history to aspects of material culture--textile arts, dress and furnishings--and museological concerns.
