Book Synopsis The Netherlandic Presence in Ontario by : Frans J. Schryer
Download or read book The Netherlandic Presence in Ontario written by Frans J. Schryer and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schryer’s central argument is that ethnic groups are as much modern “myths” as they are integral components of a socially constructed reality. Focusing on the large cohort of immigrants from the Netherlands and the former Dutch East Indies who arrived in Canada between 1947 and 1960, Schryer shows how the Dutch, despite a loss of ethnic identity and a high level of linguistic assimilation, replicated many aspects of their homeland. While illustrating and illuminating the diversity among immigrants sharing a common national origin, Schryer keeps sight of what is common among them. In doing so, he shows how deeply ingrained habits were modified in a Canadian context, resulting in both continuities and discontinuities. The result is a variegated image reflecting a multidimensional reality.

Download or read book A Dutch Heritage written by Frank Rasky and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Industry in the Wilderness by Frank Rasky is an account of the overcoming of natural elements in order to harvest the resource wealth of northwestern Ontario. It is part of the Dundurn Local History series. It is an oral history of lumberjacks, gold seekers, bush pilots, and early hydro men. Herein lies the major problem with the book. Rasky attempts to cover four important aspects of northwestern Ontario in only 128 pages. This impossible task is even further complicated by the fact that more than half of the book is devoted to pictures and diagrams ... The pictures and diagrams dominate the book to such an extent that one could ignore the text and still find a wealth of information about the topic. The diagrams of a paper mill, a gold mine, and a hydro-electric power plant could be a valuable teaching aid to students interested in those areas. The pictures are exceptionally good."--Umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol12no5/industryinthewilderness.html.
Book Synopsis Canada's Diverse Peoples by : John M. Bumsted
Download or read book Canada's Diverse Peoples written by John M. Bumsted and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-11-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Canada's profound racism in the 19th and early 20th centuries to its radical shift in immigration policy in the 1960s, this one-of-a-kind reference explores the past 1,000 years of ethnicity in Canada. In 1867 Canada was established as a political nation with two general ethnic cultures, yet more than 191 ethnic groups currently reside there. Canada's Diverse Peoples gives students of Canadian history, sociology, anthropology, and history a unique opportunity to understand the tensions, conflicts, and cooperation between Canada's indigenous and immigrant populations. In this comprehensive reference, Historian J.M. Bumsted takes readers on a chronological tour of Canada's ethnic history from aboriginal society and the French and English "founding cultures" to the "Alien Menace" of World War I and the influx of refugees after World War II. From the botched storming of the ship Komagata Maru and its forced return to India to Quebec's separatism, Bumsted explores one of the most important themes in Canadian historical development.
Book Synopsis The Last Illusion by : Herman Ganzevoort
Download or read book The Last Illusion written by Herman Ganzevoort and published by University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, information about Dutch immigration to Canada has been scarce as much was lost during the German occupation of Holland during World War II. However, Herman Ganzevoort was able to unearth and translate rare letters and articles written by Dutch immigrants during the 1920s, which offer new insight into the struggles the Dutch faced to fit into their new country. The letters opened up the inner dimensions of the immigrants: the reasons for their emigration, their hopes, their fears, and, best of all, their experiences in Canada. These images are not reminiscences screened and filtered by the passage of time but are immediate and compelling. The writers of The Last Illusion: Letters from Dutch Immigrants in the "Land of Opportunity" 1924-1930 shared their feelings and showed an openness that was uncommon in their culture and time. Their words describe the pain caused by separation and loss, and the sense of shared joy and exhilaration when goals were reached.

Download or read book Ugandans in Canada written by J.E. Mulira and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is good that Mr. Mulira tells the story of the unknown black Ugandan Diaspora. I hope this book encourages more books written by others who fi nd themselves living away from their beautiful homeland.” - M/s Yasmin Alibhai –Brown, writer for the Guadian, London, U.K. “Th is is a very interesting and informative book. I enjoyed reading it and learned not only the life stories and contributions of Ugandan immigrants in Canada but also the history of Canadian immigration.” Ugandan immigrants in Canada have become more visible in recent years. Yet, it is likely that only a small percentage of Canadian citizens are well informed of the history and interesting traditions of these people from East Africa. Th e actual number of Ugandan immigrants currently living in Canada is uncertain but could range from 10,000 to 20,000 people. Most of the Ugandan immigrants in Canada live in major metropolitan areas like greater Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. In the U.S. where the number is larger, they are also mostly concentrated in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and other large industrial cities.
Book Synopsis New-dialect Formation in Canada by : Stefan Dollinger
Download or read book New-dialect Formation in Canada written by Stefan Dollinger and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details the development of eleven modal auxiliaries in late 18th- and 19th-century Canadian English in a framework of new-dialect formation. The study assesses features of the modal auxiliaries, tracing influences to British and American input varieties, parallel developments, or Canadian innovations. The findings are based on the "Corpus of Early Ontario English," "pre-Confederation Section, "the first electronic corpus of early Canadian English. The data, which are drawn from newspapers, diaries and letters, include original transcriptions from manuscript sources and texts from semi-literate writers. While the overall results are generally coherent with new-dialect formation theory, the Ontarian context suggests a number of adaptations to the current model. In addition to its general Late Modern English focus, "New-Dialect Formation in Canada" traces changes in epistemic modal functions up to the present day, offering answers to the loss of root uses in the central modals. By comparing Canadian with British and American data, important theoretical insights on the origins of the variety are gained. The study offers a sociohistorical perspective on a still understudied variety of North American English by combining language-internal features with settlement history in this first monograph-length, diachronic treatment of Canadian English in real time.

Book Synopsis Faith, Rights, and Choice by : James Farney
Download or read book Faith, Rights, and Choice written by James Farney and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian provinces have evolved quite different ways of responding to the policy problems posed by religious schools. Seeking to understand this peculiar reality, Faith, Rights, and Choice articulates the ways in which the provincial governance regimes developed for religious schools have changed over time. Covering nearly three centuries, the book begins with the founding of schooling systems in New France and continues into a variety of present-day conflicts that emerged over the question of religion in schools. James Farney and Clark Banack employ a method of process-tracing, drawing on 88 semi-structured interviews with key policy insiders. They also reference archival material documenting meetings, political speeches, and legislative debates related to government decisions around issues of religious education. Relying on the theoretical foundations of both historical institutionalism and Canadian political development, Faith, Rights, and Choice presents a new analytic framework to help make sense of the policy divergence witnessed across Canada.
