Download or read book Canadian Perspectives on Immigration in Small Cities written by Glenda Tibe Bonifacio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines immigration to small cities throughout Canada. It explores the distinct challenges brought about by the influx of people to urban communities which typically have less than 100,000 residents. The essays are organized into four main sections: partnerships, resources, and capacities; identities, belonging, and social networks; health, politics, and diversity, and Francophone minority communities. Taken together, they provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary perspective on the contemporary realities of immigration to small urban locations. Readers will discover how different groups of migrants, immigrants, and Francophone minorities confront systemic discrimination; how settlement agencies and organizations develop unique strategies for negotiating limited resources and embracing opportunities brought about by changing demographics; and how small cities work hard to develop inclusive communities and respond to social exclusions. In addition, each essay includes a case study that highlights the topic under discussion in a particular city or region, from Brandon, Manitoba to the Thompson-Nicola Region in British Columbia, from Peterborough, Ontario to the Niagara Region. As a complement to metropolitan-based works on immigration in Canada, this collection offers an important dimension in migration studies that will be of interest to academics, researchers, as well as policymakers and practitioners working on immigrant integration and settlement.

Download or read book International Handbook of Migration Minorities and Education written by Zvi Bekerman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrants and minorities are always at risk of being caught in essentialized cultural definitions and being denied the right to express their cultural preferences because they are perceived as threats to social cohesion. Migrants and minorities respond to these difficulties in multiple ways — as active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific processes that position them in this or that cultural sphere. On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and workplace, in order to achieve social mobility. On the other hand, they articulate demands for cultural self-determination. This discursive duality is met with suspicion by the majority culture. For societies with high levels of migration or with substantial minority cultures, questions related to the meaning of cultural heterogeneity and the social and cultural limits of learning and communication (e.g. migration education or critical multiculturalism) are very important. It is precisely here where the chances for new beginnings and new trials become of great importance for educational theorizing, which urgently needs to find answers to current questions about individual freedom, community/cultural affiliations, and social and democratic cohesion. Answers to these questions must account for both ‘political’ and ‘learning’ perspectives at the macro, mezzo, and micro contextual levels. The contributions of this edited volume enhance the knowledge in the field of migrant/minority education, with a special emphasis on the meaning of culture and social learning for educational processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly multicultural world, the relationship between language and identity remains a complicated and often fraught subject for most societies. The growing political salience of questions relating to language is evident not only in the expanded implementation of new policies and legislation, but also in heated public debates about national unity, collective identities, and the rights of linguistic minorities. By taking a comprehensive approach that considers both the inclusive and exclusive dimensions of linguistic identity across Europe and North America, the studies assembled here provide a sophisticated look at one of the global era’s defining political dynamics.

Book excerpt: This report is intended as an evaluation of the initiatives taken by the federal government in the area of immigration to OLMCs since the tabling of the 2003 report. [...] What this takes into account is the attraction that English can have on immigrants in Quebec, or used to have in the past.25 The issue of the definition and counting of immigrants who's FOLS is French and their inclusion in the statistics for the francophone group prompted many questions among the Committee members. [...] Statistics Canada treats double responses as follows: half the respondents in the French- English FOLS group are indexed as francophones and the other half as anglophones, so as to respect the relative frequency of use.26 This was the procedure decided upon by Treasury Board in the 1990s: The thing is that usually what the Treasury Board does is, and the approach that was adopted in the early 1990 [...] To respond to the recriminations of the FCFA, another order in council was published in August 2010, stating that the simplified census questionnaire of May 2011 will include additional questions on language in order to comply with the provisions of the OLA relating to offer of services to the population. [...] It would be in the interest of the federal government, the provinces and territories, and the communities, within the framework of their partnerships, to harmonize their definitions and variables and to coordinate the treatment of their statistics in order to obtain comparable data on immigration to OLMCs.
