Using a Canadian émigré lens, David Wayne Stewart’s essay collection, True North, Down South, entertains and educates listeners about immigrant and national identity, cultural misunderstandings, and belonging in the modern world. Stewart’s Canadian identity was contested by Quebec separatists when he was a child, then again in his adult life as an immigrant to the United States.
