Book excerpt: This is a report on a three-year study of the social and economic adaptation of Indo-Chinese refugees to life in Canada. It was conducted by the Department of Employment and Immigration between 1981 and 1983, by means of written questionnaires returned by 4500 refugees. The report consists of eleven sections: 1) introduction; 2) methodology; 3) social and demographic characteristics of the refugees; 4) privately-sponsored refugees and their perceptions; 5) effectiveness of private sponsorship on economic adaptation of refugees; 6) participation of refugees in the job market; 7) incomes; 8) refugees and government services; 9) social adaptation; 10) analysis of data; and 11) policy recommendations. During 1979 and 1980, Canada accepted 60,000 refugees from Viet Nam, Laos and Kampuchea, of whom half were privately sponsored. The study found that: a) the refugees had little formal education compared with native-born Canadians or other recent immigrants; b) less than half the privately-sponsored refugees rated their sponsors as very helpful; and c) after three months, nearly half the respondents were employed although their average incomes were lower than those of Canadians. The authors' recommendations included: a new approach to language training; enrolment of refugees for retraining courses as soon as possible and with government assistance; the establishment of an emergency fund for private sponsors; and, recognition of the ethnic and cultural differences among Indo-Chinese refugees.

As the most wide-ranging coverage of migration in a single volume, The Cambridge Survey of World Migration will be an indispensable reference tool for scholars and students in the field.

Download or read book Cyprus And Its People written by Vangelis Calotychos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume of interdisciplinary essays considers the aspects of nation, identity, and collective experience in the notoriously divided island of Cyprus. The contributors examine the role of international politics particularly the involvement of Greece and Turkey and examine the changing relationship between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities since 1955. The book challenges prevailing assumptions about political and cultural identity in Cyprus and theorizes on the prospects for mobilizing more multi-dimensional and workable formations of community on Cyprus. The result is a tightly conceived volume, divided into sections of national identity, political possibilities, the location of culture, and social and psychological perspectives.
Download or read book Sanctuary Sovereignty Sacrifice written by Randy Lippert and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on theories of governmentality, Lippert traces the emergence of sanctuary practice to a shift in responsibility for refugees and immigrants from the state to churches and communities. Here sanctuary practices and spaces are shaped by a form of pastoral power that targets needs and operates through sacrifice, and by a sovereign power that is exceptional, territorial, and spectacular. Correspondingly, law plays a complex role in sanctuary, appearing variously as a form of oppression, a game, and a source of majestic authority that overshadows the state. A thorough and original account of contemporary sanctuary practice, this book tackles theoretical and methodological questions in governmentality and socio-legal studies.

Download or read book Smoke and Fire The Chinese of Montreal written by Kwok-bun Chan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now distributed by Brill for The Chinese University Press This book is, in fact, a study of human survival. It describes the Chinese immigrants in Montreal, Canada, as they encounter racial discrimination. It begins with the arrival of the first batch of Cantonese, in the 1850s, in Victoria, British Columbia, and ends, in the late 1970s and 1980s, in Montreal. Like Vancouver and Toronto, Montreal saw the influx of two contrasting groups of Chinese: refugees of Chinese descent from Indo-China, and economic migrants from Hong-Kong. The book uses oral history and in-depth interview material, in documenting the costs of racism on the one hand, and the strategies for adaptation on the other. The author argues that the kind of racism the Chinese in Montreal have been subjected to is a systematic one. This book is now distributed by Brill for The Chinese University Press.
