Unity, Diversity, Anonymity: An ethno-linguistic portrait of the Spanish speaking population of Edmonton, Alberta / Unidad, diversidad, anonimidad: un retrato etnolingstico de la poblacin hispanohablante de Edmonton, Alberta, CanadBenschop, Diana 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis describes the role of Spanish as a common language in the construction of social networks among the diverse Spanish-speaking population of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Analysis of the data confirms the low public visibility of the community observed initially, despite the even larger numbers of Spanish speakers living in the city than initially estimated. The communitys relatively low level of coherence and its minimal presence in the public sphere can be explained by two main factors: an exceptional degree of diversity among members (described in terms of national, religious, political, socio-economic and ethnic variations), and a set of ambivalent attitudes regarding the relative value of Hispanic culture. This communitys public anonymity is also discussed as related to the larger realities of Canadas official policy of multiculturalism and popular discourses of Hispanidad in Anglo-Canadian mainstream culture.
