Cette étude évalue un modèle multidomaine et bidimensionnel de l'acculturation chez les canadiens d'origine chinoise. En tout, 234 étudiants universitaires ont répondu à un questionnaire évaluant les domaines internes et externes des dimensions chinoises et canadiennes de l'acculturation. Les résultats des analyses factorielles ont démontré que la dimension chinoise de l'acculturation englobait les domaines internes et externes comme prévu, mais que la dimension canadienne n'englobait qu'un seul domaine. Un troisième facteur a émergé de l'analyse qui reflète l'évaluation des individus de leur groupe culturel comme distinct de leur identification avec ce groupe. Les différents domaines d'acculturation varient selon l'étendue du contact des participants avec les cultures chinoises et cana...

This article investigates how transnational familial links and socio-cultural dynamics shape migrants' remitting behavior and inform their relationships. It shows that most research on remittances fails to capture migrants' personal and social significance of remittances embedded not only in their transnational social relations, but also in cultural contexts. Drawing on new empirical qualitative research amongst Congolese migrants in South Africa, the article argues that migrants remit primarily in a bid to escape social death by fostering familial belonging and sustaining social status. It finds that socio-cultural influences and internalized social stereotypes about economic effects of emigration shape migrants' awareness of their role expectations in communities of origin. These role...
We have 30 Aboriginal police officers now which is great, but none from Saskatchewan," Nyirfa said. "A Chief's Advisory Committee on First Nations and Metis works with new recruits, especially those who follow a traditional pathway. Once the newcomers complete their training, there are many rewarding opportunities to work in the community in positions such as cultural relations or school liaison officers," he said. "There are so many resources in our police service that even recruits who have grown up on reserve or in smaller communities will feel comfortable and are encouraged to apply," he said. Recruits receive full room, board and wages while they attend municipal officer's training, he said. "Wages start at $34,000 per annum plus medical and pension plans, and there is assistance ...
To explore the internal dynamics of intercultural marriage, we conducted in-depth interviews with 18 married couples, of whom one partner was bom in Israel and the other immigrated from the former Soviet Union. The interviews focused on the contentious issues of everyday life: selfidentity, language use, cultural consumption, relations with the families/friends, division of household labor, and childrearing. The findings point to a clear tendency for immigrants to make most adjustments to the norms and expectations of the Israeli spouses and their social networks. For most immigrant spouses, the selective acculturation they had hoped for at the outset in fact morphed into relentless assimilation. The Israelization was expressed in the exclusive use of Hebrew in these homes; preference o...
