Description

The Waterloo Centre for German Studies at the University of Waterloo, Ontario Canada, through multiple interviews and analyses, presents the historical and modern aspects of the German-speaking people of the region.

"The desire to have both roots and wings is consistent with many immigrants' descriptions of their own cultural identities, which are often difficult to define in such stark terms as I-am-German, or I-am-Canadian. Identity can only be defined through the relationship between the remembrance of the old and the experience of the new."
— Alissa Melitzer, Paul Malone and Nataša Nuhanovič.
