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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Asian immigration to the United States and Canada is a relatively new interest that emerged in the 1960s, a century after the major emigrations from China and Japan. Haseltine's directory is designed primarily to contribute to the study of Asian immigration, assimilation, and ethnic distinctiveness. The cultural groups Haseltine examines are Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and Korean peoples, whose migration across the Pacific began in the mid- and late 1800s. In Chapter One, Haseltine lists objects, as well as photographic and historical records, maintained in museums and historical societies in the United States and Canada. Chapter Two lists sites bearing significance to the lives of Asian immigrants and reflects not only their settlement primarily in Hawaii, California, and British Columbia, but their diffusion and concentration in various cities and geographical areas. Chapter Three focuses on the ways artistic and material culture traditions are maintained in Asian festivals primarily on the West Coast of the United States and in Hawaii. This directory is an excellent resource for those interested in the immigration and culture of Asian-Americans and Asian-Canadians. The book is also an excellent resource for courses in Asian History in North America.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) is pleased that this richly documented update of the state of our knowledge of Southeast Asian refugees in Canada is being launched. It is a timely sequel to the original (and highly successful) Southeast Asian Exodus: From Tradition to Resettlement (ed. Elliott Tepper, 1980), a pioneering study of the Indo-Chiense "problem" in Canada. The present volume represents the culmination and drawing together of some of the best research which has grown so abundantly over the past five years. Taken together, these two volumes provide a firm foundation for a truly longitudinal resettlement study, which can potentially be built upon as far into the future as research interests, energies and funds permit. Collectively, the topics (chapters) in this volume provide a fairly full coverage of the principal problems of Indo-Chinese adaptation in Canada, from the "bottom-line" and often hard facts of occupational and economic adjustment to the more subtle and sensitive questions of language learning, social and psychological needs. Doreen Indra's introduction supplies a comprehensive and impressive overview of the entire Southeast Asian refugee situation in Canada, and this is complemented by one of the moost complete bibliographies on the subject yet compiled in this country." -- Preface

Neuwirth and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast-paced economic growth in Southeast Asia from the late 1960s until the mid-1990s brought increased attention to the overseas Chinese as an economically successful diaspora and their role in this economic growth. Events that followed, such as the transfer of Hong Kong and Macau to the People''s Republic of China, the election of a non-KMT government in Taiwan, the Asian economic crisis and the plight of overseas Chinese in Indonesia as a result, and the durability of the Singapore economy during this same crisis, have helped to sustain this attention. The study of the overseas Chinese has by now become a global enterprise, raising new theoretical problems and empirical challenges. New case studies of overseas Chinese, such as those on communities in North America, Cuba, India, and South Africa, continually unveil different perspectives. New kinds of transnational connectivities linking Chinese communities are also being identified. It is now possible to make broader generalizations of a Chinese diaspora, on a global basis. Further, the intensifying study of the overseas Chinese has stimulated renewed intellectual vigor in other areas of research. The transnational and transregional activities of overseas Chinese, for example, pose serious challenges to analytical concepts of regional divides such as that between East and Southeast Asia. Despite the increased attention, new data, and the changing theoretical paradigms, basic questions concerning the overseas Chinese remain. The papers in this volume seek to understand the overseas Chinese migrants not just in terms of the overall Chinese diaspora per se, but also local Chinese migrants adapting to local societies, in different national contexts.

Download or read book Second Generation East and Southeast Asian Immigrants Bicultural Identity Integration and Well-Being written by Kaki Jacky Chan and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching objective of the thesis was to better understand how second generation (G2) East and Southeast Asian emerging adult immigrants make sense of their bicultural identity integration (BII), and in turn experience well-being. Moreover, a domain-specific approach was adopted with the premise that an individual could experience a great deal of well-being in one context (e.g., at home) while encountering significant difficulties in adjustment in another (e.g., in the public sphere). To achieve this, two studies were completed as part of the thesis. In the first study, we focused on family domain adjustment and well-being. In particular, we were interested how parental autonomy support (proxy for individualism) and family allocentrism (proxy for collectivism) were related to participants' parent-child relationship satisfaction, parent-child relationship conflict, and family-domain subjective well-being. We were also interested in how BII may explain the above relationships through mediation pathways. In the second study, the focus shifted towards community-domain adjustment. Research questions were formulated around the relationships between cultural socialization (independent variable [IV] 1), experiences with microaggressions (IV 2), and sense of belonging to heritage cultural community (dependent variable [DV] 1) and mainstream Canadian community (DV 2). Again, BII was included in the model to determine its ability to explain the above pathways. The results from study 1 revealed that parental autonomy support was positively related to family domain-specific well-being for all participants. Family allocentrism was linked with parent-child relationship satisfaction, but only for participants who had moved away from parents. BII appeared to partially explain the relationship between family allocentrism and parent-child conflict. The results from study 2 revealed that co-ethnic peer cultural socialization towards East and Southeast Asian culture had a positive relationship with participants' sense of belonging to their heritage community. Meanwhile, parental and Euro-Canadian peer cultural socialization towards Canadian culture had positive relationships with participants' sense of belonging to the dominant Canadian community. Not surprisingly, microaggressions were negatively linked with participants' sense of belonging to heritage and Canadian communities. The results from the mediation model again suggested that BII was able to partially explain the link between microaggressions and sense of belonging to heritage and dominant communities. Moreover, BII also appeared to be able to explain some of the relationships between cultural socialization and participants' sense of belonging. Taken together, the findings from the two studies shed light on how BII may subtly influence well-being differently across the home and community spheres, reinforcing the need to look at BII from a situated approach. Implications for clinicians on how to best support G2 East and Southeast Asian emerging adult immigrants navigating their bicultural identity and experience well-being are discussed.
