Examinations of migrants’ experiences have traditionally been confined to host country experiences. More recent studies consider the homeland-hostland relationship as a dynamic one, while also paying attention to the impact of events that happen outside these two landscapes. This article seeks to build on these latter works by considering the homeland-hostland connection from a different angle and argues that, when it happens, the post-migration discovery of homeland communal and personal histories results in salient personal transformations. Moreover, these hostland experiences are largely facilitated by encounters with the larger ethnic community. The examination draws upon data collected on Armenian migrants from Turkey to Canada.

与过去的接触和亚美尼亚人在加拿大的定居之旅

对移民经历的考察传统上仅限于东道国的经历。最近的研究认为祖国与东道国的关系是一种动态的关系，同时也关注这两个景观之外发生的事件的影响。本文试图在后几部作品的基础上，从不同的角度考虑故乡与东道国的联系，并认为，当这种情况发生时，移民后对故乡公共和个人历史的发现会导致显着的个人转变。此外，与更大的种族社区的接触在很大程度上促进了这些寄宿体验。这项检查利用了从土耳其到加拿大的亚美尼亚移民收集的数据。
