In this volume Alberto Di Giovanni presents us with a wide panorama of the recent history of Canada and its social development, while offering a compelling story of the long journey of the Italian community in Canada, and with Canada. Di Giovanni walks again on the long trail of the Italo-Canadians leading to the institutions of the country, from the unions in the world of work, to the educational, political, religious, social, and cultural ones. -- Odoardo Di Santo, Preface
As the community became increasingly more mature and well-developed, there was a readiness to take on a leadership role in every area of life whether it be social, labour related, economic, political and so on.
Finally, a volume that offers a satisfying picture of the Italo-Canadian experience in its multiple aspects, with an approach by an author who is a well-balanced, careful observer. Di Giovanni gives us his firsthand testimony of events, while at the same time presenting a fascinating and profound historical analysis of the Italo-Canadian community, and of Canadian society.
