Abstract
Prenant comme point de départ trois études de cas (la mobilité d’une famille acadienne sur 200 ans, l’émigration de plusieurs centaines de Canadiens au Brésil en 1896, l’immigration d’un jeune Danois en Ontario dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle) et adoptant une perspective micro-historique, ce chapitre montre les liens entre immigration, migration interne et émigration. Il fait ressortir la complexité des phénomènes migratoires dans le contexte canadien et les stratégies des migrants pour se créer des espaces de vie à l’intérieur des systèmes socioéconomiques et sociopolitiques.
Based on three case studies (an Acadian family’s geographic mobility over 200 years, the emigration of several hundreds Canadians to Brazil in 1896, the immigration of a young Dane to Ontario in the middle of the twentieth century), and using a microhistorical perspective, this chapter studies the links between immigration, internal migration and emigration. It also highlights the complexity of migration as well as the strategies of individual migrants for creating living spaces within socioeconomical and sociopolitical systems.
