For a Better Life

For a Better Life: A History of the Croatians in Canada. For A Better Life concentrates on the Croatian experience in Canada from the earliest times to the present. Their culture, values, and traditions are examined as the author vividly describes the waves of immigration, the problems of assimilation, and the present-day Croatian community. From the Croatian sailors who accompanied Champlain and the early explorers to the immigrants of today, the Croatian peoples’ activities and contributions weave a complex tapestry of achievements and culture, which greatly enriches the Canadian social fabric. Included are sixteen pages of photographs.
