This book was released on 1988 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the organization and social life of firmly-established Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in various parts of Canada. Divided into nine chapters written by thirteen authors, the book focuses on community development issues. Various settings are described: Large national or regional metropolises (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg); middle-sized cities (Quebec, Victoria); and small towns (Lethbridge, Moncton). All regions of Canada are covered except the northern territories. In presenting basic background information on the history and community organization of the Vietnamese, Kampucheans and/or Laotians living in various Canadian cities, each chapter also underlines some specific aspects of their social and community life. The first chapter, the only non-case study, brings together commonalities of Indo-Chinese Canadian social organization from the growing literature. Merging this information with that drawn from the social organization of other immigrant groups, the author, N. Buchignani of the University of Lethbridge, develops a basic model of contemporary Indo-Chinese family and community organization. In the studies of the eight Indo-Chinese ethnic communities in the subsequent chapters, common social and cultural tendencies are apparent, such as the primary role of the family and the social support role of the ethnic community.

Book Synopsis Preparation for Refugee Resettlement by : Laurel Borisenko
Download or read book Preparation for Refugee Resettlement written by Laurel Borisenko and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 1991 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis seeks to analyse the goals for resettlement from the perspective of the agencies which implement the programmes and of the refugees who are the clients. Khmer refugees resettled in Canada were the focus of this case study. The study begins with a discussion of the root causes of refugee movements, and the historical/political context of Cambodian refugee movements. Since resettlement goals are examined in the Canadian context, a description of Canadian government policies on immigration and settlement is then provided. The first part of the fieldwork, conducted in Thailand, includes a description of life in the Thai refugee camps. Past and present orientation programmes are examined, the latter being based on participant observation. The second part of the fieldwork is a summary of interviews with Khmer refugees and settlement workers in Edmonton, Canada. Questions were asked pertaining to the Khmer refugees' experience of and preparation for resettlement to Canada. The hypothesis is then re-examined in the light of the data from the fieldwork and recommendations are made based on the findings of this research. (Based on author's abstract).

Book Synopsis Reconstructions of Canadian Identity by : Vander Tavares
Download or read book Reconstructions of Canadian Identity written by Vander Tavares and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-envisioning multiculturalism in Canada In 1971, Canada became the first nation in the world to officially declare its bilingual and multicultural policies. Reconstructions of Canadian Identity examines what has changed over the past fifty years, highlighting the lived experiences of marginalized Canadians and offering insights into the critical work that lies ahead. Editors Vander Tavares and Maria João Maciel Jorge bring together a wide range of disciplines and perspectives to investigate inclusion and exclusion within the processes, discourses, and practices that forge and frame Canadian identity. Chapters analyze ways current multicultural policies continue to benefit the dominant groups and (further) harm minoritized ones. Exposing the pitfalls of established notions of Canadian identity, this volume moves traditionally othered identities—immigrant, racialized, hybridized, Indigenous, and women—to the forefront. In doing so, it reveals how these identities negotiate and claim legitimacy, arguing for a reconceptualization from the margins that truly fosters diversity and inclusion. Illustrating both the shortcomings of and possibilities for a more inclusive multiculturalism in Canada, Reconstructions of Canadian Identity invites readers to reflect on what it means to be Canadian in the twenty-first century.
Book Synopsis Gender and Genocide in Cambodia by : Azra Rashid
Download or read book Gender and Genocide in Cambodia written by Azra Rashid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the multiplicity of women’s experiences in the Cambodian genocide during the four-year rule of the Khmer Rouge. The dominant discourses of genocide often speak from a patriarchal and national perspective, rendering women speechless, and yet in this volume, the female survivors of the Cambodian genocide testify not only to the specific atrocities committed during the war but also to the pre-war conditions that laid the groundwork for a gender-specific victimization of women and its continuation post-war. With the help of testimonies from Khmer women who joined the Khmer Rouge, women who experienced sexual violence during the Khmer Rouge era, women who fled the country, and the Cham women who faced expulsion from home, this book explores the diversity of women’s experiences under the Khmer Rouge. Survivors’ accounts show that a Khmer woman’s experience with the Khmer Rouge was considerably different from the experience of not only a Khmer man but also a woman from a religious or ethnic minority group or a woman who chose to join the Khmer Rouge. These differences are conveniently ignored in nationalist discourses in Cambodia and by western scholars of history and gender-based violence, and they are given even less consideration in discourses about women survivors in diaspora. Instead of forcing generalization and universalization of gendered crimes of war, Gender and Genocide in Cambodia employs feminist curiosity and closely examines women’s experiences under the Khmer Rouge from multiple vantage points. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars interested in gender and cultural studies, political history, and modern history.

Book Synopsis Grace after Genocide by : Carol A. Mortland
Download or read book Grace after Genocide written by Carol A. Mortland and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace after Genocide is the first comprehensive ethnography of Cambodian refugees, charting their struggle to transition from life in agrarian Cambodia to survival in post-industrial America, while maintaining their identities as Cambodians. The ethnography contrasts the lives of refugees who arrived in America after 1975, with their focus on Khmer traditions, values, and relations, with those of their children who, as descendants of the Khmer Rouge catastrophe, have struggled to become Americans in a society that defines them as different. The ethnography explores America’s mid-twentieth-century involvement in Southeast Asia and its enormous consequences on multiple generations of Khmer refugees.
Book Synopsis Cambodian Buddhism in the United States by : Carol A. Mortland
Download or read book Cambodian Buddhism in the United States written by Carol A. Mortland and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive anthropological description of the Khmer Buddhism practiced by Cambodian refugees in the United States over the past four decades. Cambodian Buddhism in the United States is the first comprehensive anthropological study of Khmer Buddhism as practiced by Khmer refugees in the United States. Based on research conducted at Khmer temples and sites throughout the country over a period of three and a half decades, Carol A. Mortland uses participant observation, open-ended interviews, life histories, and dialogues with Khmer monks and laypeople to explore the everyday practice of Khmer religion, including spirit beliefs and healing rituals. This ethnography is enriched and supplemented by the use of historical accounts, reports, memoirs, unpublished life histories, and family memorabilia painstakingly preserved by refugees. Mortland also traces the changes that Cambodians have made to religion as they struggle with the challenges of living in a new country, learning English, and supporting themselves. The beliefs and practices of Khmer Muslims and Khmer Christians in the United States are also reviewed.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Consecrated Life in Canada by : Jason Zuidema
Download or read book Understanding the Consecrated Life in Canada written by Jason Zuidema and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the consecrated life in Canada since the 1960s should be about much more than numerical decline. Although the falling numbers are significant among Catholic religious in communities that pre-date Vatican II, many communities continue to show stability and even growth. This book provides nuance to that story by adding detailed portraits of movements, communities and institutions. In four parts, this book presents essays from the leading scholars on religious life in Canada that seek to address the state of religious communities dedicated to religious virtuosity normally characterized by formal promises of chastity, poverty, and obedience. The essays examine a broad range of topics related to the general state of consecrated (or “religious” or “monastic”) life in contemporary Canadian Christian and Buddhist traditions. In the first section, the contributors trace the demographics and definitions of religious life in Canada. The second section examines Canadian developments in Catholic religious life during the Vatican II and the post-Vatican II eras. A third section explores trends in contemporary Canadian religious life, while the fourth section describes the consecrated life in other Canadian religious traditions.
