Identifying as Arab in Canada
A Century of Immigration History
La description
Using archival research, media analysis, laws and statistics, and a series of interviews, Asal offers a thorough examination of the institutions that Arab migrants and their descendants built, and the various ways they expressed their identity and organized their religious, social and political lives. Identifying as Arab in Canada offers an impressively researched, but accessibly written, much-needed glimpse into the long history of the Arab population in Canada.
Reviews
“With rigorous research and a gripping narrative, this book comes to shatter many preconceived ideas and orientalist views about “Arabs,” all in a constructive, historical, and critical way.”
- Monia Mazigh, author, novelist and human rights advocate.
