Perceptions of social services among immigrantsPanameno, Javier Martín, Morales, Carlos 01 January 2007 (has links)
This project focused on immigrants' perceptions of social services and social workers. The study employed the post positivist paradigm. The project was conducted with legal and illegal immigrants who received services at Bilingual Family Counseling Service in the city of Ontario, CA. The study found that the immigrants' perceptions about social service agencies and social workers were multi-determined by at least three elements: knowledge, experiences, and attitudes. The dynamic interaction between experiences and attitudes shaped the immigrants' perceptions. Most of the respondents had a positive attitude toward social workers and social services agencies.

Exploring Sri-Lankan women's migration experiences in L.A. county : three stories, three livesGunewardena, Sriyanthi Lorna Antoinette 18 August 2003 (has links)
The recognition that women are not in a fixed position but are dynamic and
active in any of the processes of migration and post-migration adjustment helps us to
see the complexity of women's participation in migration. Using life history
interviews, three Sri-Lankan womens' migration experiences are examined for the
ways in which personal networks were utilized in various phases of the migration
process and how social and human capital was transformed in the post-migration
adjustment process. Though in some instances the data did not fully support Boyd's
(1989) predictions of the ways in which personal networks affect migration, overall,
both Boyd's and Kopijn's (1998) statements that social capital is transmitted and
transformed in the migration process are supported. The analysis indicates that all
three women were successful in their post migration adjustment in that they were able
to retain a strong sense of identity while adopting new practices in the United States. / Graduation date: 2004

Nativism and the decline in civil liberties: reactions of white America toward the Japanese immigrants, 1885-1945O'Neal, Jonathon P. January 2009 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis concentrates on how nativism, through a series of discriminatory policies over the span of fifty years, influenced the creation of the Japanese American internment camps during the Second World War. By using the experiences of the first—and second—generations of Japanese immigrants, my thesis explores how nativism supported the creation of laws meant to preserve racial homogeneity, cultural superiority, economic segregation, and national security from the Japanese immigrants living in California during the end of the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century
