Finding Refuge in Canada: Narratives of Dislocation

Presented through the humanistic lens of narratives, Finding Refuge in Canada is a collection of stories that features nearly every aspect of the refugee experience, ranging from first-hand accounts to settlement workers’ perspectives. Most importantly, this book dispels many myths about the Canadian system for refugees. Most of the chapters are only a few pages long and could easily be integrated into a lesson plan, given their moderate-level vocabulary. Some contributions include cited works, but generally the tone of most chapters is that of a memoir, which could offer readers more connection than an average textbook treatment of the topic.
