Notes

"... traces Doukhobor history from its obscure beginnings in the early eighteenth-century southern Russia down to the 1960's, in Cyprus as well as in Canada; he examines Doukhobor beliefs; he portrays the often strange enthusiasms that have swept their environment; and he looks at some of the artistic survivals of their handicrafts. The account of recent Doukhobor history is illuminated by personal observation .... With a time span covering some 250 years, this book is truly a definitive pictorial history of the Doukhobors. ..." Quoted from the back flap of the dust jacket.
