Description
Swedes in Canada: A History of Invisible Immigrants Elinor Barr's comprehensive history explores the significant impact of Swedish-speaking immigrants on Canadian life. From their contributions to major infrastructure projects, such as the CN Tower and railways, to their influence on national sports initiatives like ParticipACTION, this book delves into the impressive legacy of Swedes in Canada. Despite their substantial achievements, the Swedish immigrant community has often remained relatively invisible in Canadian society. Barr's extensive research sheds light on both the notable accomplishments of Swedish Canadians and the factors contributing to their low ethnic consciousness. This book offers a nuanced examination of the complex history of Swedish immigrants in Canada, revealing the intricate dynamics that have shaped their experiences and contributions to the country.
