Description
Torn between two Worlds is an inside view of the trials and tribulations of those who fled from persecution in Latin America and came to Canada. It explores why they were forced to leave their countries of birth and it describes some of the methods used to escape; their struggle to settle and the countless typical problems encountered throughout their adjustment to the new land; as well as the refugees’ constant drive to travel to their birthplaces and back.
