Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the Doukhobors, a Russian religious sect that migrated to Canada in the early 20th century. The author provides a comprehensive account of their beliefs, their history of persecution in Russia, and their challenges and triumphs in their new homeland. The book delves into the Doukhobors' unique interpretation of Christianity, which emphasizes nonviolence, communal living, and vegetarianism. The author traces their origins back to the 18th century and discusses the ways in which their beliefs have shaped their social and cultural practices. The author also examines the complexities of the Doukhobors' relationship with the Canadian government. While they initially welcomed the Doukhobors as a source of cheap labor, Canadian officials later became concerned about their pacifism and their refusal to swear allegiance to the British Crown. This led to a series of confrontations and legal battles that culminated in the Doukhobors' voluntary migration to British Columbia. Through extensive research and interviews with Doukhobor community members, the author offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on this fascinating group. This book is a valuable contribution to the understanding of religious diversity and the challenges of immigration and acculturation. Its insights will appeal to anyone interested in the history of religious movements, the struggle for social justice, and the complexities of human identity.
