Canada and International Affairs The Construction of Canadian Identity from Abroad (Paperback)

Migration and the impact that immigrants have on Canada is and always has been central to a robust understanding of Canadian identity. However despite claims that the world needs more Canada Canadians their governments and scholars pay much less attention to the estimated 3 million Canadian expatriates who live elsewhere. The Construction of Canadian Identity from Abroad features Canadian scholars who live and work outside Canada (or have recently returned to Canada) and who write and think deeply about identity construction. What happens when that Canadian is a scholar whose teaching research and scholarship professional development and/or community engagement focuses directly on Canada? How does being abroad affect how we interpret Canada? In short in what ways does externality affect how Canadian expat scholars intellectually approach construct and identify with Canada? This engaging volume is ideal for university students scholars government officials and the general public.
