The Resource Nationalism from the margins : Italians in Alberta and British Columbia

Label: Nationalism from the margins : Italians in Alberta and British Columbia

Summary: "In Nationalism from the Margins Patricia Wood offers a fresh approach to the study of immigration adaptation and collective and individual identity formation. In analysing a century of Italian migration to Alberta and British Columbia Wood documents a multicultural experience and vision of Canada that existed long before the official policy of 1971. She argues that nationalism is not one idea but a "relationship of voices, speaking from varying levels of political and social power, and to varying audiences." The Italian understanding of what it means to belong to Canada does not require abandoning ethnic identity but instead demonstrates the ways in which layers of identity intersect."--Jacket
