Editorial Reviews

The first history of Macedonian immigrants to Toronto from the turn of the century to the beginning of World War II, drawing on interviews, letters and memoirs, the records of societies, and observations of Anglo-Canadians who came into contact with them. Charts the shift away from the community's almost total isolation from the larger society as events and conditions in Canada became more important than those in Macedonia, a change often associated with marriage and with moving from industrial labor to entrepreneurial activities. Co-published by the Multicultural History Society of Ontario. Canadian card order number: C94-932118-4. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
