- catalog abstract ""In this study, Wenona Giles takes a new look at immigration by examining the gender, class, and race relations of the Portuguese immigrant population from the micro level of personal experience to the macro level of the long-lasting societal repercussions of immigrant status and welfare. Comparing two generations of Portuguese-Canadian women, the book delves into such issues as cultural heterogeneity among Portuguese immigrants, the ambiguity of work and gender politics, and the concept of 'home' versus nationalism, and raises concerns about the ways in which global political and economic inequities have affected Portuguese women." "Drawing on more than sixty interviews with Portuguese immigrants and community workers in Toronto, Giles combines theoretical perspectives and direct discourse to provide a full picture of the Portuguese immigrant experience. Her case studies shed new light not only on the lives of Portuguese immigrants to Canada, but also on Canadian nationalism and multicultural policies, and their effect on all immigrants to Canada."--BOOK JACKET.".
