Internationally renowned historians of migration -- including Dirk Hoerder and the late Christiane Harzig -- detail these German-Canadians' experiences of immigration by investigating their imagined communities and collective memories.\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond the Nation?\u003c\/em\u003e outlines how German-Canadians invented ethnicity under Canadian expectations, and provides moving case studies of how notable immigrant groups integrated into Canadian society.
