This book explores the refugee experience of people from six countries: El Salvador, Iran,
Vietnam, Cuba, Czechoslovakia and Poland. The scope is local (St. John's), national (Canada),
and international, thus providing a broad context in which to comprehend the process of
becoming a refugee, seeking asylum, waiting for resettlement and the aftermath of reaching
the final destination, a safe home in Canada.
"This is a useful and compelling book. It is not so much about the Northern Route
per se as it is about the refugee experience and the well intentioned but uneven and
often contradictory fashion in which refugees are evaluated, received and integrated into
a new country and culture."--Refugee Abstracts (Centre for Documentation on Refugees,
Geneva)
". . . useful both as an introductory text to the refugee experience in Canada as well as an
exemplification of the general experience . . ."--Refuge
