Abstract

"The Invisible Community: Being South Asian in Quebec" is a book that explores the migration, integration, and participation of South Asians in Quebec, Canada. The book highlights the diverse nature of the South Asian community, including their different countries of origin, languages, religions, and migration histories. It also examines the specific challenges faced by different South Asian subgroups, such as access to mental health care, language barriers, and discrimination in schools. However, the book has been criticized for omitting the contributions of past scholars and for not adequately addressing the issue of ethnic categorization. Additionally, some readers may question the generalizability of the findings to the entire province of Quebec. [Extracted from the article]
