Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Before We Were the Land's tells a tale of immigration and resettlement that is at the same time unique and a cornerstone of Canadiana. This book, and its partner volume, attempt to speak for the people who participated in the history of this village in the Upper Fraser Valley. Yarrow was there before the Mennonite immigrants arrived in 1928, and earlier settlers could not have foretold its future. It sat on rich farmland but was subject to severe flooding, which made for a percarious existence. However, by the time the Mennonites came from Russia, a river had been rerouted and a lake had been drained. The Mennonites were a farming people, and they ultimately became the land's.

Village of Unsettled Yearnings
Author: Leonard Neufeldt
Publisher: TouchWood Editions
ISBN: 9781894898010
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Concensus and dissent, persistence and rapid change were at the heart of Yarrow's rich cultural life. These tensions, especially the inevitability of assimilation, walked hand in hand with the young pioneer settlers born in Russia and the next generation born in Canada. There was no possibility that the new generation would be absorbed into a Russian colony ethos or would move elsewhere in order to perpetuate it. Those who grew up in the early years of this community cannot go home again save in memory; the memories of a way of life and its webs of relationships and their meanings will probably die with that generation or those just a few years younger. "Village of Unsettled Yearnings" harnesses these memories to the surviving records and gives words to them.
