Carol's Book Review Corner

Educate yourself on the subject of immigration. For suggestions and descriptions of interesting book possibilities, check out Carol Joyal's series of book reviews.

LimitsToGrowth recommends that you patronize and support your local independent bookstore and forego those corporate online sites which are bookstore killers. Any good bookstore will be happy to order a book for you if they don't have it in stock. Another source for immigration books, particularly the obscure titles, is the Social Contract Press, which also has a toll-free number (1-800-352-4843).
