Promoters, Planters, and Pioneers: The Course and Context of Belgian Settleme…
In this comprehensive study of Belgian settlement in western Canada, Cornelius Jaenen shows that Belgian immigration was unique in its character and brought with it significant benefits out of proportion to its comparatively small numbers.
