- 301 p, The Family as the Agent of Socialization -- "I wouldn't be where I am today." Creating Moral Citizens through Church and School -- The Sky is the Limit: Migration to Britain -- Nurse Training and Education -- 'I've always wanted to work': Black Women and Professionalism -- Combining Work, Family and Community -- Nation Home and Belonging.; "Moving Beyond Borders is the first book-length history of Black health care workers in Canada, delving into the experiences of thirty-five postwar-era nurses who were born in Canada or who immigrated from the Caribbean either through Britain or directly to Canada. Karen Flynn examines the shaping of these women's stories from their childhoods through to their roles as professionals and community activists. Flynn interweaves oral histories with archival sources to show how these women's lives were shaped by their experiences of migration, professional training, and family life. Theoretical analyses from post colonial, gender, and diasporic Black Studies serve to highlight the multiple subjectivities operating within these women's lives. By presenting a collective biography of identity formation, Moving Beyond Borders reveals the extraordinary complexity of Black women's history."--pub. desc.
