| Abstract: | The paper examines the writings of first-generation Bulgarian immigrants in Canada with the purpose of expounding on the immigrant experience. The texts under discussion are mostly memoirs or life stories published in periodicals either in English or in Bulgarian and reflecting on different aspects of acculturation. The aim of the analysis is to look for the ways in which the cultural differences between the mother country and the chosen country of immigration are conceptualized. The paper focuses on how these written testimonies reflect the dynamic social processes of integration of the East European immigrant in Canada in its different forms: economic and social. |
