spring 2024 release: the hyphen and other thoughts from the In-between

THE HYPHEN: And Other Thoughts From the In-Between
by Maria João Maciel Jorge

This unique collection of essays and poignant vignettes delves into the depths of cultural heritage, hyphenated identity, and the enduring pull of memory through the lens of Azorean Canadian immigrant and academic Maria João (MJ) Maciel Jorge.

 Praise for THE HYPHEN:
“These are not narratives about lost identity or cultural abandonment. Instead, they are a candid exploration of embracing a dual heritage, navigating the challenges and joys of living between two worlds. This is a heartfelt account of the author’s journey to harmoniously blend her Azorean roots with her new Canadian life, revealing the rich tapestry of a bicultural existence.”
~ Irene Maria F. Blayer, PhD – Professor – Brock University, Canada
