Edite Noivo’s book entitled Inside Ethnic Families: Three Generations of Portuguese-Canadians provides an “insider look” at the family life of three generations of Portuguese immigrants. This work is particularly important given the relative scarcity of literature that exists on the Luso-Canadian family and the prominence of Portuguese in Canada (250.000 strong). Some issues discussed are common to many other ethnic minorities or even among the working-class members of the dominant society, while others can be quit distinct.
