In doing so, he moves beyond the simplistic rhetoric and offers us practical policy recommendation that deserve serious consideration." - Milton Catelin

Toronto, ON: Vintage Canada, 2001. Soft cover. As New.

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to the upper back inside edge; a few very light scratches to back cover; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; In this comprehensive study of Belgian settlement in Western Canada, Jaenen demonstrates the uniqueness of Belgian immigrants and their contribution to the Canadian mosaic. Belgian settlers differed from the larger immigrant groups in that they were not recruited by immigration societies and did not settle in ethnic blocs. Rather, they came to Canada to explore new opportunities, not to flee poverty and oppression, and were supported and monitored by their home government. As a result, Belgian settlers in Canada were resourceful and adaptable to both anglophone and francophone communities and adept at promotion and raising capital. An eminent historian and the son of Flemish and Walloon Belgian immigrants himself, Prof Jaenen has gleaned from Belgian and Canadian… Read More
