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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymonde Tickner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774881011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774881012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purich Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Raymonde Tickner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024953626879,"sku":"9780774881012","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb47c76-5aee-41fe-a9bb-c4d4beaf376f.jpg?v=1723129614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/geographies-of-the-heart-raymonde-tickner-9780774881012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
