Description
Hungarian immigrants' status as foreigners and their disadvantageous class position prevented them from gaining power in Canadian society, forcing them to rely almost exclusively on ideologies and institutions within their own communities to better their situation. Focusing on the social and cultural dimensions of immigrant politics, Carmela Patrias places the Hungarian situation within the larger context of immigration history.
Reviews / Votes
"An impressive study of a little explored topic. Not only do we learn a great deal about key individuals who emerged as influential leaders within the patriotic and radical camps, but we are also treated to a thorough discussion of the rich and diverse associational life of Hungarian immigrant communities." Franca Iacovetta, Department of History, University of Toronto.More details
