The thesis concentrates on the Mennonite and the Jewish immigrant communities and their depiction in the novels of two Canadian writers - Rudy Wiebe's Peace Shall Destroy Many and Adele Wiseman's The Sacrifice. An integral part of the thesis an overview of early English-language records of immigrant life in Canada. Chapters dealing with the historic backgrounds to both the Mennonite and Jewish communities are also included. The main core of the thesis deals with comparing both aforementioned novels - the style in which they are written and the way in which they relate to actual events during the process of settling Canada.
