The Italian understanding of what it means to belong to Canada does not require the abandonment of ethnic identity but instead demonstrates the ways in which layers of identity intersect. Wood introduces the more spatial concept of "relocation" and emphasizes the complex and negotiated nature of immigrant identities. She highlights the immigrants' roles as active participants in the creation of their own local, regional, and national spaces, underlining the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to immigrant history. Highlighting the "marginalized" status of these immigrants - as Southern Europeans, Catholics, and residents of western Canada - Wood brings their voice to the centre and shows them to be agents in the production of their identities.McGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history.Series two ;14.ItaliansAlbertaHistoryItaliansAlbertaEthnic identityItaliansBritish ColumbiaHistoryItaliansBritish ColumbiaEthnic identityAlbertaEthnic relationsBritish ColumbiaEthnic relationsAlbertaEmigration and immigrationBritish ColumbiaEmigration and immigrationItalyEmigration and immigrationItaliansHistory.ItaliansEthnic identity.ItaliansHistory.ItaliansEthnic identity.305.85/107123Wood Patricia K1685745MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809772403321Nationalism from the margins4071821UNINA
