The history of the human race is a history of migration. Migration South-North, East-West, voluntary, forced, across nations, cultures, religions, languages. In our time immigration has been increasingly problematized in the global village we inhabit. This collection of thirty-three essays, originating in the bilingual international conference, "Pluri-Culture and Migrant Writings: An Interdisciplinary Approach," held at York University, Toronto, in May 2012, focuses on a variety of discourses, both oral and written, in order to address key issues of migration. By highlighting the cultural baggage the immigrant brings with him, and the interaction it produces with the host country, we are able to analyze Pluri-Culture in all its manifestations, both "high" and popular. The aim of the book is to create cultural dialogue, a bridge between similarity and difference, which may mitigate the "clash of civilizations." By utilizing the tools of both the humanities and the social sciences, we underline the ways in which humans create their own cultures, and thereby present a model of tolerance, understanding, peace, acceptance of difference in the context of cultural pluralism.
