In analysing a century of Italian migration to Alberta and British Columbia, this work documents a multicultural experience and vision of Canada that long preceded the official policy of 1971.

Trade Review
"An important contribution to research. By examining life histories in an everyday environment we get a clearer picture as to the process that all immigrants must undergo. Wood's results emphasize the importance of self agency and the limits to which any official policy can go to bring about assimilation or integration." Herman Ganzevoort, Department of History, University of Calgary "An ambitious book. Drawing in several scholarly sources, Wood weaves a narrative of epic proportions, presents new scholarship on the Italian-Canadian experience in western Canada, and provides an original regional perspective." Tamara Palmer Seiler, Faculty of Communication and Culture, University of Calgary
