After the war

Summary: This book is about the people who came to Canada after the Second World War, their good and bad experiences, the kind of society they came to, and why and how they came. There are quotations from many different kinds of people who came, from government officials, and from a booklet put out by the Department of National Defence and other government sources. The book has a “scrapbook” format, with many pictures of people in transit, new arrivals, at work and at home. After the War is arranged into short descriptive passages sandwiched between quotations. The chapters are well organized, and each section of quotations has its own title.
