A History of Migration from Germany to Canada, 1850-1939

by Jonathan Wagner

tagged: emigration & immigration
Description

Jonathan Wagner considers why Germans left their home country, why they chose to settle in Canada, who assisted their passage, and how they crossed the ocean to their new home, as well as how the Canadian government perceived and solicited them as immigrants. He examines the German context as closely as developments in Canada, offering a new, more complete approach to German-Canadian immigration.

Editorial Review

Wagner’s book provides a valuable case study, tying together not only basic push and pull factors, but also the responses of governments to the challenges of migration during the rapid urbanization and industrialization of Germany and the massive task of settling the Canadian Prairies ... it is a valuable study of the political, social, and technological processes facilitating migration in an international context that will be useful for future research in the field of migration history.
