Cherif Rifaat has crossed cultures twice, from Egypt to Europe, then again to Canada. He weaves his experiences, perceptions, hopes and anxieties into the context of major historical and global events, in a lively and thought provoking account of today's immigration process. More than just a personal memoir, Immigrants Adapt, Countries Adopt confronts the immigrants's and society's misconceptions, explains Canada's uniqueness through its history and comparison with other nations, and recommends changes in policy which may be controversial in some circles.
