Beyond the Nation? explores the lives of German-Canadian immigrants
between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries -- from the Moravian
missionaries who came to Labrador in the 1770s to the German
refugees who arrived in Canada after the Second World War.
Internationally renowned historians of migration -- including Dirk
Hoerder and the late Christiane Harzig -- detail these
German-Canadians' experiences of immigration by investigating their
imagined communities and collective memories.
Beyond the Nation? outlines how German-Canadians invented
ethnicity under Canadian expectations, and provides moving case
studies of how notable immigrant groups integrated into Canadian
society. Other topics explored include literary constructions of
German-Canadian identity, analyses of language use among these
immigrants, and aspects of their lives that can be interpreted as
transcultural and gendered. Transcending the master narrative of
immigration as nation building, Beyond the Nation? charts a new
course for immigration studies.
