The African immigrants use of traditional healing practices as part of their process of resettlement into Canadian societyCheboud, Elias Assefa 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to investigate what traditional healing
practices African immigrants are using and have ceased to use, during the process
of resettlement into Canadian society. An additional purpose was to investigate
the participants' reasons for using or not using their traditional healing practices.
One aim of the study was to provide information about these traditional
differences and the ways in which professionals in the social service sector
acknowledged African immigrants and have been helpful to them. Another aim of
the study was to identify whether, and in what ways, professionals have been
helpful. The study is important not only for social workers and human service
professionals, but also for African immigrants themselves as well as for African
immigrant community groups within Victoria.
The African immigrants' traditional practices and the ways in which they
adapt and resettle into the new society remain unknown in the literature. Perhaps,
the African immigrants common challenges and their unique traditional approach
to resettlement into the Canadian society have not yet captured the full attention of
social work and human service professionals. This study was grounded in
structural theory, migration theory, settlement theory and adaptation theory in
order to draw theoretical understanding of the relationship between immigrants
resettlement process and their experiences.
The research was qualitative and exploratory. It included a participatory
interview design. Twenty African immigrants from five different regions of
Africa participated in the study. Two distinct traditional practices were identified
(i.e. material tradition and non material tradition) which are the foundation of
African immigrants traditional healing practices. This research has found that the
use or abstention of traditional healing practices in re-settlement depends on the
participants reasons for migration. There were distinct differences in the use or
non-use of traditional healing practices between those who planned (economic),
and those who were forced (political) to migrate

Matsiyipaitapiiyssini : Kainai peacekeeping and peacemakingCrop Eared Wolf, Annabel, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2007 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore and provide an understanding of Kainai
peacekeeping and peacemaking within the context of the Kainai worldview, employing
postcolonial Indigenous theory and a Kainai process of inquiry. Relying on the oral
tradition, as articulated by Káínai elders, as a primary source, Káínai peacekeeping and
peacemaking is elucidated through an interpretive approach that examines the
foundational principles of the Káínai worldview, as well as Káínai values, relationships,
traditions, and customs. It is demonstrated how these function in unison to effect
peacekeeping and peacemaking. The results of this study further an understanding of
Káínai peacekeeping and peacemaking, aboriginal justice in general and Indigenous
knowledge. The results will also contribute to Káínai in the development of a
contemporary peacemaking model as part of its Justice Initiative. / xi, 165 leaves ; 29 cm.

Thonging for identity : learning about girlhood, sexuality and feminity in a tween retail spaceKoutsogianopoulos, Ralia January 2005 (has links)
Children learn from a variety of sources. One of the most powerful pedagogical sites for kids is the consumer sphere. Marketers recognize this and have recently carved out a new consumer niche for those between childhood and adolescence, marking them as tweens. La Senza Corporation, which specializes in women's lingerie, responded to this trend by opening a tween store with a name heavily laden with meanings of sexuality: La Senza Girl. This study will apply a textual analysis to the tween retail space, in an effort to understand the informal pedagogy that takes place within this milieu. While La Senza Girl celebrates girlhood by creating a space that tween girls can call their own, it is important to take stock of the meanings of girlhood being celebrated. This study interrogates La Senza Girl's 'pedagogies' of femininity, sexuality and girlhood.

Manly smokes : tobacco consumption and the construction of identities in industrial Montreal, 1888-1914Rudy, Robert Jarrett. January 2001 (has links)
This dissertation explores the cultural practice of smoking and its connection to social relations from the beginning of cigarette mass production in Montreal in 1888 to the First World War. It uncovers the norms of smoking etiquette and taste, their roots in gender, class and race relations and their use in reproducing these power relationships. It argues that these prescriptions reflected and served to legitimize beliefs about inclusion, exclusion and hierarchy that were at the core of nineteenth century liberalism. Liberal ideals of self-control and rationality structured the ritual of smoking: from the purchase of tobacco; to who was to smoke; to how one was supposed to smoke; to where one smoked. These prescriptions served to normalize the exclusion of women from the definition of the liberal individual and to justify the subordination of the poor and cultural minorities. Furthermore, even while these prescriptions were at their height, an emergent group of beliefs began to recast notions of respectable smoking around new ideals of speed and ungendered universality. This challenge was not only part of the transition from bourgeois to mass consumption, it was the roots of a transformation of the liberal order in the years previous to the First World War.

Community Participation Patterns of the Residents of Krum, Texas and Denton, TexasBlue, Dorothy A. 12 1900 (has links)
Patterns of participation in formal organizations by residents of a rural non-farm community are compared with those of residents in an urban community. Multi-stage random sampling is utilized in Denton to select those interviewed. In Krum, each residence was numbered and a table of random numbers was used to select households. Chapter One includes the study's purpose, review of the literature, and statement of the hypothesis. Methodology is discussed in the second chapter. Chapter Three focuses on findings and discussions. Data indicate that in the urban community social class, age, homeownership, and length of residency are related to amount of participation. In the rural non-0farm community social class is related to participation. Residents in the urban community participate more than those in the rural non-farm community.
