Ethnicity and community : southern Chinese immigrants and descendants in Vancouver, 1945-1980Ng, Wing 11 1900 (has links)
This study seeks to understand Chinese ethnicity as a process of ongoing cultural construction engaged in by Chinese people in Vancouver from 1945 to 1980. Drawing evidence primarily from the ethnic press and voluntary organizations, it uncovers a diversity of cultural positions articulated by different groups of Chinese with respect to their ethnic identity and sense of community. This interior discourse on Chineseness unfolded in part because of changing demographic conditions within the ethnic group. After the Second World War, the older settlers who had arrived in Canada before the exclusion act of 1923 were joined and gradually outnumbered by their Canadian-born descendants and new immigrants. This development ushered in a contest for the power of cultural definition among various generations of local-born and immigrant Chinese.
The emergent diversity of ethnic constructs in the Chinese minority after 1945 also reflected the continuous influence of China and the new opportunities Chinese people began to enjoy in Canada. The former unitary outlook of the ethnic group regarding the close relationship of overseas Chinese with their home country was displaced, but not by any simple cultural re-orientation to Canada. Particularly among the immigrant Chinese, the concern forthe native place, the care for family members in Mainland China and Hong Kong, the desire to promote some form of Chinese culture in Vancouver, and a residual interest in Chinese politics remained salient dimensions of their ethnic consciousness. At the same time, the dismantling of discriminatory legislation and other racial barriers in the larger society afforded Chinese people for the first time the option to nurture an identification with Canada. In the 1970s these two fundamentally different cultural orientations were reconciled, as the discourse on Chineseness took on a new paradigm. Under state multiculturalism and with the rise of ethnic sentiments, members of the Chinese minority advanced their claims to be "Chinese Canadians" within the officially enshrined Canadian mosaic. Despite popular subscription to this category, immigrant and local-born Chinese invested this label with different meanings. The underlying diversity of Chinese ethnic construction was once again unveiled.

Embodied geographies of the nation-state : an ethnography of Canada’s response to human smugglingMountz, Alison 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis provides a geographical analysis of the response of the Canadian nation-state to
human smuggling. I contend that nation-states must be examined in relation to transnational
migration and theorized as diverse sets of embodied relationships. As a case study, I
conducted an ethnography of the institutional response to the arrival of four boats carrying
migrants smuggled from Fujian, China to British Columbia in 1999. I studied the daily work
of border enforcement done by civil servants in the federal bureaucracy of Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC), as well as the roles played by other institutions in the response to
the boats. This "ethnography of the state" led me to theorize the nation-state geographically as
a network of employees that interact with a variety of institutions in order to enact immigration
policy.
I also interviewed employees of other institutions involved in the response to human
smuggling, including provincial employees, immigration lawyers, service providers, suprastate
organizations, refugee advocates, and media workers. The thesis explores crossinstitutional
collaboration among them and the resulting decision-making environment in
which civil servants design and implement policy.
Civil servants practice enforcement according to how and where they "see" human
smuggling. My conceptual understanding of state practices relates to these efforts to order
transnational migration. Diverse institutional actors negotiate smuggling at a variety of scales.
Power relations are visible through discussions of smuggling at some scales, but obscured at
others. I "jump scale" through embodiment in order to understand the micro-geographies of
the response. This shift in the scale of analysis of the nation-state uncovers different
relationships, interests, and negotiations in which state practices are embedded. This approach
to geographies of the nation-state considers the time-space relations across which state
practices take place, the everyday enactment of policy, the categorization of migrants, and the
constitution of borders through governance. I argue that such an approach is key to
understanding the relationship between nation-states and smuggled migrants. The findings
suggest a re-spatialization of enforcement through which nation-states increasingly practice
interception abroad and design stateless: spaces, and in so doing, reconstitute international
borders. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

The socio-economic participation of Chinese migrant traders in the city of Durban.Govender, Subashini. January 2012 (has links)
With South Africa attaining democratic status in 1994 and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People‟s Republic of China a “new wave” of Chinese migration into the country began (Park, 2009). Although the Chinese migrants and their business enterprises are visible on the streets of Durban's city centre and surrounding towns, their lives seem shrouded with secrecy. This study was therefore conducted with the aim of understanding the social and economic lives of the Chinese traders living and working in the city of Durban. Interviews and participant observation methods were utilised in order to obtain qualitative data. The analysis of the data indicates that the main priority of traders is to grow their business in order to prosper; therefore their social and economic activities revolve round the activity of trading. Although crime and language barriers deter Chinese migrants from being more active within South African society, their "Chinese shops‟ serve as spaces where they negotiate relationships with diverse people, including their workers and customers. Social, distribution and supply networks are also found to be imperative in order for migrants to effectively conduct their business. It was also noted that social networks, knowledge of the English language, positive experiences in the host country and length of time spent in the country contributes to traders adapting to South Africa. This study also indicates that the future of Chinese migrants in South Africa hinges on the micro and macro conditions of the host country, traders overcoming language barriers as well as maintenance of social networks that provide support to the migrant trader. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2012.
