These accounts push back against misconceptions about immigration and immigrants by revealing that the paths into Canada are as diverse as the people who journeyed them. In this book, a settlement worker recalls being a child soldier in Sudan; a woman from Trinidad applies to over a hundred jobs; and a teacher from Afghanistan grapples with what it means to be a migrant in a colonized land. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Canada itself plays a pivotal role in the collection, both as a savior and oppressor. The nation is a haven and place of opportunity, but it is also not entirely benevolent and welcoming. As increasing migration is met with growing xenophobia, the stories in \u003ci\u003eGeographies of the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e are reminders of our shared humanity.","brand":"Purich Pub.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45045809119383,"sku":"9780774881012","price":2687.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780774881012.webp?v=1769217275","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/geographies-of-the-heart-stories-from-newcomers-to-canada-9780774881012","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
