In the last century, international migrations have become a social phenomenon of undeniable magnitude. The influence of migration on the dynamics of contemporary societies, on their internal policies, their cultural adjustments and their external relationships, cannot but continue and increase throughout the present century. Canada, as a traditional country of immigration, has been allotted a vanguard position in the management of this new kind of social complexity. But this has by no means been a one-way process. The self-perception of Canadian society, its identity, cultural habits and political institutions, have evolved and adapted to the changing circumstances in a process that has not always been easy and free of conflicts. The Spanish Association for Canadian Studies therefore puts forward the call for papers for its XI International Conference.
