"This book is about immigration to the United States from Canada in the 1920s and 1930s. The immigrants in this immigration stream are from Europe. The book takes as its case study Detroit and the Detroit-Windsor border. Many of the dynamics, problems, and solutions regarding immigration that exist today for the United States are visible in this earlier immigration"-- Provided by publisher
