Summary: Gem of a book!
Comment: As a first generation Portuguese-Canadian, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Portuguese history, or the history of immigrant groups. One need not have a background in the subject matter as the work is written in a very accessible and readable manner.

Its essays are varied, and gives one a thorough introduction and understanding of the challenges and issues faced by the Portuguese upon their arrival in Canada. One interesting point of note is that it includes a section on the immigrant group in both Montreal and Toronto and how the groups have adapted to 2 very distinct communitities.

Although a relatively "new" immigrant group to Canada, the Portuguese have now an excellent piece of work commemorating and chronicling their place in Canada's social context. Kudos to the editors: Victor da Rosa and Carlos Texeira!
