Migrant Emotions: Inclusion and Exclusion in Transnational Spaces
This cross cultural and comparative collection of essays is an investigative study into the complex emotions experienced by migrants in places of settlement.

As the research in this collection demonstrate, the hybrid emotions of both migrants, their families and surrounding communities are a volatile, dynamic mix related to the lives of…
Montréal à l'italienne/Italian Montréal
