Musique italienne et musique allemande, C'est une question qui ne finit jamais; L'un proclame l'orchestre et l'autre le gourmande; Celui-ci n'a de goût que pour les grands effets, Les modulations, les clairons et leur bande; Celui-là veut un air sentimental et frais. Vous aimez Bellini, je suppose, madame ? Et certes, volontiers, je conviens avec vous Que c'est un enchanteur dont la voix porte à l'ame, Un maestro divin, et que, si j'étais femme, Ce cygne élégiaque, harmonieux et doux, Je le préférerais à Mozart comme à tous...

John Werner was a Mennonite immigrant in southern Manitoba. Born in the Soviet Union just after the Bolshevik Revolution, he was named Hans and grew up in a German-speaking Mennonite community in Siberia. The Constructed Mennonite is a unique account of a life shaped by Stalinism, Nazism, migration, famine, and war.

A study of the social and cultural integration of two migrations of German speakers from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union to Winnipeg, Canada in the late 1940s, and Bielefeld, Germany in the 1970s. Employing a cross-national comparative framework, Hans Werner reveals that the imagined trajectory of immigrant lives influenced the process of integration into a new urban environment.
