Book excerpt: In this ethnographic study I explore the cultural practices and literacy engagement of first generation Arab Muslim children who either immigrated to Canada or were born to parents who immigrated to Canada. Responding to an ongoing concern within Boards of Education in the Greater Toronto Area around the underachievement of minority students and their disproportionately high dropout rates (McKell, 2010), I focus on Arab Muslim children since they are repeatedly identified as underachieving and under-researched. Although low achievement is typically linked to demographic markers such as race, socio-economic status and linguistic and cultural background, little is known of how immigrants socio-cultural practices, in particular religious practices, impact literacy learning in schools. Working from within a situated literacy framework (Gee, 1996; Heath, 1983; Street, 1997; 2005; Taylor & Dorsey-Gaines, 1988), I explore how three Arab Muslim families, two whose children go to Islamic schools and one whose child goes to public school, engage their children in language and literacy acquisition. Moving beyond the findings of previous studies that document the central role of Islam in the daily lives of Muslims, observational data and interviews from this study highlight the extent to which religion influences and shapes the literacy choices, thoughts, and writing that form the childrens worldview. I conclude with a summative analysis of best practices and academic successes from private Islamic schools that provide insight into the underachievement of Arab Muslim children in public schools in the Greater Toronto Area.

Book Synopsis Exploring the Food Choices of Muslim Arab Immigrants in Canada by : Rana Aljaroudi
Download or read book Exploring the Food Choices of Muslim Arab Immigrants in Canada written by Rana Aljaroudi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: This study aimed to investigate Arab Muslim immigrants' lived experiences in Canada and perceptions around food choice, including whether participants maintained their traditional diet or incorporated more Western foods. Method: This study utilized the phenomenological methodology with a sample of Arab Muslim mothers who immigrated to Canada 5 years or more ago who currently have school-age children and reside in the metropolitan areas of Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo and Mississauga, both of which are located in Southern Ontario, Canada. Data were collected in Arabic by semi-structured individual interviews, focusing on food availability, meal preparation and food choices in Canada. Data were translated into English and coded to facilitate analysis by NVivo11 Qualitative Analysis Software. Member checking was used in order to meet the criteria of credibility. To facilitate transferability, thick descriptions were written so that it will be possible for others to gain a clear understanding of the determined themes. A sample (2) of the 24 interviews were entered into NVivo by a second qualitative researcher as well as the original researcher, in order to check for accuracy and completeness, and the two transcripts were then compared. An adapted version of the Male Arab-American Acculturation Scale (MAAS) was also used to assess participants' attitudes towards acculturation, and information was also collected on key socioeconomic variables of the household. Results: Participants reported that traditional foods were available at supermarkets, but they expressed concerns over the cost of food and the general lack of flavour and freshness. Some participants reported adjustment of the positive and negative healthy food behavior such as less frying of food; more reading of food nutrition facts and labels. Other participants reported that unhealthy food behavior increased, such as consuming easily prepared meals due to the lack of time; going to restaurants more often and consuming Western food due to children's preferences to consume food in Western style. The Male Arab-American Acculturation Scale (MAAS) indicated no relation between the adaptation of food behavior or the retention of preparation of traditional food and the degree of acculturation after immigration among Arab Muslims participants. However, there were interesting associations of other socioeconomic variables (such as mother's work status, length of time in Canada) with food behavior. Since the sample was relatively small and restricted to urban areas in Southern Ontario, the findings are specific to a particular demographic group. However, similar patterns have been observed for Arab immigrants in the United States, and some of the findings are consistent with those for other immigrant groups to Canada. Conclusions: Arab Muslim immigrants to Canada tend to try to balance the maintenance of their traditional dietary habits with being open to Western foods. However, some individuals resist the Western influence more than others. There were varying levels of adherence to religious dietary observances. Other variables could also impact food choices, such as family income, children's age, level of education of the parents and parents' work. The acculturation survey (MAAS) results in this study, while intriguing, were inconsistent with the extant literature. Overall, it is evident that the phenomenon of dietary acculturation for Arab Muslim Immigrants to Canada involved an experience of trying to find a balance between carrying forward food-related traditions and trying to adapt and fit into Canadian culture, including Canada's food culture. Implications: Policy makers and international community focusing on immigration and dietitians as well should consider how they can help Arab Muslim immigrants to combine the healthiest aspects of their traditional diets with the healthier foods available in the West, to help them avoid diet-related health issues such as obesity and diabetes, which could help to reduce healthcare costs and improve health. Efforts such as these could help Arab Muslim immigrants to feel better supported in their new environments. By making Arab Muslims feel more welcomed and at home, this could subsequently improve social cohesion between new immigrants and long-term citizens as well.

Book excerpt: Newcomer Salma and friends cook up a heartwarming dish to cheer up Mama. All Salma wants is to make her mama smile again. Between English classes, job interviews, and missing Papa back in Syria, Mama always seems busy or sad. A homemade Syrian meal might cheer her up, but Salma doesn’t know the recipe, or what to call the vegetables in English, or where to find the right spices! Luckily, the staff and other newcomers at the Welcome Center are happy to lend a hand—and a sprinkle of sumac. With creativity, determination, and charm, Salma brings her new friends together to show Mama that even though things aren’t perfect, there is cause for hope and celebration. Syrian culture is beautifully represented through the meal Salma prepares and Anna Bron’s vibrant illustrations, while the diverse cast of characters speaks to the power of cultivating community in challenging circumstances.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
Book Synopsis Islam in the Hinterlands by : Jasmin Zine
Download or read book Islam in the Hinterlands written by Jasmin Zine and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslim communities have become increasingly salient in the social, cultural, and political landscape in Canada largely due to the aftermath of 9/11 and the racial politics of the ongoing “war on terror” that have cast Muslims as the new “enemy within.” Islam in the Hinterlands features empirical studies and critical essays by some of Canada’s top Muslim Studies scholars who examine how gender, public policy, media, and education shape the Muslim experience in Canada. Touching on much-debated issues, such as the shar’ia controversy, veiling in public schools, media portrayals of Muslims, and anti-terrorism legislation, this book takes a distinctly anti-racist, feminist standpoint in exploring the reality of the Muslim diaspora. A timely collection addressing some of the most hotly contested issues in recent cultural history, Islam in the Hinterlands will be essential reading for academics as well as general readers interested in Islamic studies, multiculturalism, and social justice.

Book Synopsis Albion's Seed by : David Hackett Fischer
Download or read book Albion's Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
