Review of \u3ci\u3e Struggle and Hope: The Hungarian-Canadian Experience\u3c/i\u3e By N. F. Dreisziger with M. L. Kovacs, Paul Body, and Bennett Kovrig

This book appears in the government sponsored series A History of Canada\u27s Peoples, aiming at the general public\u27s interest in the ethnic dimension of Canadian society. Most Canadians belong to an ethnic group, since to do so is simply to \u27have a sense of identity rooted in a common origin ... whether this common origin is real or imaginary\u27 ... all have traditions and values that they cherish and that now are part of the cultural riches that Canadians share. Despite the reference to such subjective concepts as identity, tradition, and values, the authors of ethnic extraction were instructed to keep within the confines of immigration and ethnic history. They were to give accounts of the origin, educational and social stratification of the immigrants, their settlement patterns, economy, labor and political relations, mobility and the ethnic institutions they create and sustain. The authors indeed followed these guidelines. It is only a question whether the chronological survey of historic facts will be sufficient to present the Hungarian-Canadian (or any other ethnic group\u27s) experience, as the title promises
