Summary:
Above the entrance to the
Finnish
Labour Temple in Thunder Bay is the motto labor omnia vincit - "hard work conquers all"--Reflecting the dedication of the
Finnish
community in Canada. Hard Work Conquers All examines
Finnish
community building in Canada during the twentieth
century
. Waves of immigrants imbued the relationship between people, homeland, and host country with the politics, ideologies, and cultural expressions of their time. This collection of essays explores the cultural identities of
Finnish
Canadians
, their ties to Finland, intergenerational cultural transfer, and the community's connections with socialism and labour movements. It offers new interpretations of the influence of
Finnish
immigration on Canada.
