Doukhobors in Alberta: A People in Transition.
Friesen, John W.
The study reported in this paper identified and interviewed a representative sample of the former Doukhobor residents of 13 Canadian villages and compared responses of three generations of Doukhobors regarding the nature and strength of their present identity. The results of the survey are summarized in 5 idea components: Awareness of Culture; Language, Religion and Belief System; Education and Schooling; Threat of Assimilation; and Confronting Issues, Discrimination, etc. A brief discussion of Doukhobor beliefs and history help provide a background to the field work and analysis described. References and two appendixes are included; the appendices consist of an outline of interview responses charted by age group and the interview questionnaire. (TRS)
