The Immigrant Years: From Europe to Canada, 1945-1967 - Hardcover

Broadfoot has never presumed to offer scholarly evidence in Canadian oral history. He collects first-hand stories from ordinary people and edits and publishes them. His formula has produced many fascinating, entertaining, and popular books. The Immigrant Years is no exception. Broadfoot has chosen a wide range of personal anecdotes from Canadian immigrants and has scattered contrasting views at random. The book explores a number of themes: reason for emigration; language and cultural problems; employment; citizenship; as well as a chapter devoted to war brides. Highly recommended for public libraries and oral history collections. Mary Hemmings, McGill Univ. Medical Lib., Montreal
