Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly human story is both a powerful appeal for tolerance and an incisive study of the causes and effects of alienation. Sandor Hunyadi's fierce battle for 'success' in Canada is portrayed with uncompromising honesty. The conflict between his fierce ambition and the philosophic ideals of his father is beautifully delineated, as are the contrasts between the struggling society of immigrant Hungarians and the prosperous English- speaking world to which Sandor yearns to belong. John Marlyn's sense of life and his feeling for character and color make this a moving and unforgettable book.

This book was released on 1987-08-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines stereotypes in Canadian literature reflecting both the racist view that Jews and other aliens could never become good "white" Canadians because of their inherent defects, and the belief that with time they could assimilate. Discusses the origins of ethnic tension in Canada. Up to 1939, English Canadian literature expressed the demand for British Protestant political and cultural dominance. The popular novelist Charles Gordon, a Presbyterian minister, viewed the British (especially the Scots) as the chosen race, and even when trying to present Jews sympathetically he treated them as stereotypes. John Murray Gibbon was violently antisemitic. F.P Grove saw the Jews as urban businessmen exploiting the peasant immigrants. After 1945 antisemitism became unfashionable. Works by Jews such as Mordecai Richler exposed anti-Jewish discrimination, and English Canadians produced works attacking antisemitism and racism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, Canadian immigrant writing has emerged as a powerful force in shaping the evolution of Canada’s identity as a country – a vibrant, multifaceted, multiethnic, cosmopolitan society that it is today. The present study analyses four post-modern Canadian immigrant writers who explored the consequences of migration in the construction and transformation of identities while uncovering the tortuous path of the ‘silent’ movement towards ethnic integration. The aim is to explore how the theme of identity permeates the literary works of these writers who depict a migratory flow in search of identity and sense of belonging, where old ideals gradually give way to the new.
Download or read book You Feel It Just Below the Ribs written by Jeffrey Cranor and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting, provocative novel, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a fictional autobiography in an alternate twentieth century that chronicles one woman’s unusual life, including the price she pays to survive and the cost her choices hold for the society she is trying to save. Born at the end of the old world, Miriam grows up during The Great Reckoning, a sprawling, decades-long war that nearly decimates humanity and strips her of friends and family. Devastated by grief and loneliness, she emotionally exiles herself, avoiding relationships or allegiances, and throws herself into her work—disengagement that serves her when the war finally ends, and The New Society arises. To ensure a lasting peace, The New Society forbids anything that may cause tribal loyalties, including traditional families. Suddenly, everyone must live as Miriam has chosen to—disconnected and unattached. A researcher at heart, Miriam becomes involved in implementing this detachment process. She does not know it is the beginning of a darkly sinister program that will transform this new world and the lives of everyone in it. Eventually, the harmful effects of her research become too much for Miriam, and she devises a secret plan to destroy the system from within, endangering her own life. But is her “confession” honest—or is it a fabrication riddled with lies meant to conceal the truth? A jarring and uncanny tale of loss, trauma, and the power of human connection and deception, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a portrait of a disturbing alternate world eerily within reach, and an examination of the difficult choices we must make to survive in it.
