D uring the 1990s, a new surge of poverty struck the western industrial nations, including Canada. Slower economic growth both at national and international levels, globalization and the erosion of the welfare state contributed to this poverty surge. Moreover, there is a widespread perception that this poverty has become increasingly concentrated in certain neighbourhoods, known as "ghetto," "inner city," "poverty zone," etc., and that such neighbourhoods have become mostly the habitats of minority groups ö racial minorities in some societies, immigrant groups in others. This path-breaking book examines the relationship between poverty and ethnicity in Canada. The authors provide a comprehensive picture of Canadian cities with regard to the concentration of poverty and, in particular, examine whether there is an ethnic dimension associated with it. They find a disturbing trend towards rising poverty levels during the 1990s, with poverty tending to be concentrated in certain neighbourhoods. Also, certain ethnic groups, especially visible minorities and those consisting mostly of recent immigrants, seem to be doubly disadvantaged, suffering not only from a general poverty due to economic factors but also factors related to their immigration status, such as limited knowledge of the official languages and the mismatch of their skills and the demands of the labour market.

http://www.agr.gc.ca/misb/fb/food/consumer/mrkreports/ethnic/profile_e.html

Extractions: As indicated earlier, the Canadian population is made up of many different ethnic groups. For the purposes of this study, however, greatest attention is being placed on those ethnic groups who have recorded significant increases in their numbers and/ or influence on Canadian cuisine in recent years. It is important for producers, processors and distributors of Canadian food products to be fully aware of these groups and of their potential impact on the domestic food industry. Although knowledge of ethnic food is greater today than it was five or ten years ago, it is clear nonetheless that much remains to be done in this area. Source: Statistics Canada, 1996 Census To examine ethnic food demand, we have begun by painting a demographic picture of Canada so as to highlight the importance of ethnic groups capable of influencing the domestic food market. We have seen that, in recent years, greater numbers of immigrants to Canada now come from non-traditional countries Europe is no longer the main source of immigrants to Canada. 4.1 Chinese

http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~zharuna/ethnicfolklore.html

Extractions: Ethnic Folklore I. The meaning of Ethnic Group Members of an ethnic group are those who share and identify with a historically derived cultural heritage or traditions. Those traditions may include both explicit and explicit patterns of behaviours (folk customs), folk literature, and material culture. Membership in an ethnic group can also be acquired by descent. It should be noted that an ethnic group is often a part of a lager society consisting of various ethnic groups - rather than being independent and self-sufficient. This is generally the case even in a society or a country where outsiders think is made up of one ethnic group. Ethnic identity refers to the intellectual and emotional sense that a person has of his/her relationship to the behaviours, ideas, and values of a particular ethnic group. Ethnicity is any customary behaviour, verbal expression and material culture that are inspired by, or are based on this sense of ethnic identity. It should be noted that the existence of a ethnic group and the sense of ethnic identity are situational (i.e. may vary with situation and circumstance) There are three main social forces that lead to the creation or recognition of ethnic groups: nationalism, colonialism, and immigration. Colonialism means one nation being ruled and exploited by another. Immigration means coming to one nation from another. Nationalism is often born from anti-colonial feelings. These factors are to some extent interrelated.

Extractions: The Peopling of Canada: 1946-1976 Ethnic The terms 'ethnic' and 'ethnic group' are contentious among scholars. It is not easy to arrive at an accurate definition for these terms. Some scholars believe that members of 'ethnic groups' share a set of common characteristics; including, but not limited to, racial heritage, language, country of origin, and religion. Not all members of any one 'ethnic group,' however, share all of these characteristics, and yet they are still considered as members of that particular social group. In previous Canadian immigration policy, the term 'ethnic' is often used to refer to individuals with racial and cultural features distinct from the mainstream social, cultural, and/or linguistic group.

Like race This article is about race as a concept of intraspecies classification. For the many types of competitive sport, see racing. The term race is used in a wide variety of contexts, with related but often distinct meanings. Its use is often controversial, largely because of the political and sociological implications of different definitions, but also because of disagreements over such issues as whether humans can be meaningfully divided into multiple races. The data indicate that there is one human species with variations comprising only aproximatly 1.5% percent of the DNA. The difference between any two groups is on average only 1/10th of a percent.

He has studied what factors affect the retention or loss of ethnic identity, and how diverse groups ultimately incorporate into a larger society. Isajiw completed his Bachelor's degree at La Salle College in Philadelphia, PA before receiving his Master's from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He then taught at St. John's University in New York and at the University of Windsor, and while at Windsor, was awarded his Ph.D. from the Catholic University of America. He then completed a year of post-doctoral work at Harvard University before joining the faculty of the University of Toronto. In 1990, as part of his work as the R.F. Harney Professor, Isajiw launched a Spring Series of Lectures in Ethnicity, serving as its Chairman and organizer. The Series has continued every year until 1999. Thirty selected papers presented in the Series were published in the R.F. Harney Professorship's series of publications "Lectures and Papers in Ethnicity." In 1993, Isajiw established the Collaborative Program in Ethnic and Pluralism Studies at the University of Toronto, School of Graduate Studies, the first such program in Canada. While holding the R.F. Harney Professorship, Isajiw organized and chaired three major, international conferences on ethnic group relations, an international workshop on pluralism, two conferences of university ethnic chairholders, and three workshops with scholars of ethnicity from other Canadian universities and scholarly institutions. Over the course of his career, Isajiw has chaired over 25 conferences and lecture series.

http://users.rttinc.com/~canadatree/assimil.htm

Extractions: The convergence hypothesis of classical immigration theory has been central to many studies of assimilation (Lieverson 1963). Its basic premise is that the process of individual adaptation leads to the convergence of the individual and group characteristics with those of the host society over time. The extent of assimilation is normally assessed in terms of the dissimilarity between the distribution of certain characteristics of the immigrant groups and the dominant cultural group. The processes of acculturation, that is, cultural or behavioural assimilation and integration that lead to convergence, are numerous and complex, operating within generations as well as across successive generations. A form of social interaction theory is enlisted in this literature to predict the nature of change between the groups. The expectation is simply that the smaller immigrant groups of subordinate status will experience the greatest change, and in the process can expect to become more like the culturally dominant group over successive generations. Social interaction theory also reminds us that assimilation is a two-way street in that the dominant group will in turn be affected by its minority groups, but not with the same force (LaPiere and Farnsworth 1942; Gordon 1964:62).
