Unimagined
Obviously I haven't read it yet, but Intend to read this book named Unimagined. Here is also a biography of the Author... hehe! This article explains it better than I can.... also the comments below it are worth a browse....all apart from the fairly feeble attempt at white supremacy by one gentleman from Doncaster.
I think what first attracts me to this book is it's title Unimagined. Its doesn't just say something about what it must feel like to try to live caught between two cultures, but also the mysterious nature of the "other" which can generate fear. How does an individual come to terms with a double whamy of cultural identity? Live through it I guess. As a stranger or "other", no matter what context you might be in it is very difficult to know what it is that you don't know. How do you find out something if you don't know what it is you don't know? hehe! With my lack of knowing spiralling out of control I'll leave it there, but will probably read the book and then be able to write more informedly... so yeah, read the article.
More anon

That does look quite interesting.
That does look interesting ... immigration is a darkly hilarious topic in Canada ... because, really, most of us are immigrants. Though some do a really exhaustive job of trying to forget that.
It certainly does look interesting!
Apparently it's now available in Canada too.
Apparently all the information is on the website.
Have you read it yet?
