SUMMARY:Leaving Canada: The Mennonite Migration to Mexico - Mexico Mennonites and Nostalgia for 'Old Canada' - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Format: Webinar\n  \nThe final event in the “Leaving Canada” speaker series features Royden Loewen\, professor emeritus at the University of Winnipeg\, where he held the Chair in Mennonite Studies. Loewen will give a webinar presentation on the transnational mindset of Mennonites in Mexico during the 1930s and 1940s\, and the mythical hold of Canada on the migrant Mennonite imagination. As he will demonstrate\, whether expressed as yearnings for their old homeland or voiced as antipathy toward the country they felt had betrayed them\, Canada could not be left behind. \nThis is a virtual event.

SUMMARY:Leaving Canada Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Format: Webinar \nFor the fourth installment of the “Leaving Canada” speaker series\, Andrea Klassen\, senior curator of Mennonite Heritage Village\, will explore the interactions between Mennonite colonists in northern Mexico and their Mexican neighbours as depicted in the immigrant newspaper Die Steinbach Post. Drawing on her study of letters published in the Post from Mennonites in Mexico to their relatives and friends in Canada between 1922 and 1967\, Klassen will describe how Mennonite encounters with their neighbours – in the marketplace\, in conflicts with thieves and the state\, and through informal relationships between individuals – had the effect of creating a cohesive religious and cultural identity and strengthening Mennonites’ self-perception as an ethnic minority living on foreign soil. \nThis is an online event (a Zoom webinar). Register to attend through the form on this page\, September 27\, at 7 pm CDT. Click here to register. \nFrom June to November\, with support from the Plett Foundation\, Centre for Transnational Mennonite Studies and Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) are showing “Leaving Canada: The Mennonite Migration to Mexico\,” a special exhibit that explores this momentous event\, in its various dimensions\, featuring artefacts\, historical photographs from public archives and private collections\, and original interpretative content. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n
