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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond the Nation?\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Nation?\u003c\/em\u003e charts a new course for immigration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155105530096,"sku":"9781442694873","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442694873_p0.jpg?v=1763808232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442694873","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
