For the Temporary Accommodation of Settlers - Architecture and Immigrant Reception in Canada, 1870–1930

For immigrants making the transoceanic journey from Europe or Asia to North America, the experience of a new country began when they disembarked. In Canada the federal government built a network of buildings that provided newcomers with shelter, services, and state support. David Monteyne presents an architectural history of the buildings that welcomed, directed, controlled, and rejected immigrants--challenging readers to consider government architecture and the experience of migrants across global networks.
