Global breadwinners in Canada : role strain, anticipatory socialization, religiosity/spirituality and social support as determinants of the psychosocial adjustment of Southern Sudanese menStoll, Kathrin 05 1900 (has links)
Very little is known about the acculturation of African refugees in Canada. This study
examined the experiences and determinants of the psychosocial adjustment of Sudanese
men (n=185) who are resettling in the lower mainland of British Columbia.
Findings indicate that the men use two main coping resources to ease adjustment: social
support and religiosity/spirituality. The former is predictive of improved social
adjustment and the latter greatly ameliorates psychological adjustment.
Additionally, the role strain experienced from supporting family members in Africa
financially while resettling is examined. This study shows that greater role strain does not
exacerbate the adjustment difficulties of Sudanese men, but socio demographic variables
such as length of residence and language proficiency do affect adjustment. Men who have
resided in Canada for longer showed improved social adjustment and those who were
more proficient in English had adjusted better psychologically. This study further
discusses the economic insecurity of Sudanese refugees, their family composition, the
importance of a cohesive ethnic community in adjusting to life in Canada and various
other aspects of the experience of this group of newcomers. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Re-locating Japanese Canadian history : sugar beet farms as carceral sites in Alberta and Manitoba, February 1942-January 1943Ketchell, Shelly D. 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines Alberta and Manitoba sugar beet farms as carceral sites for displaced
Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. Previous literature has focused on the
relocation of Japanese Canadians but has not addressed the many distinct sites that marked the
boundaries of incarceration for Japanese Canadians. By exploring issues of citizenship and
history, this thesis examines the many ways that regulation was imposed on Japanese Canadians
by state and extra-state organizations and individuals. This subject was explored using critical
discourse analysis of the Calgary Herald and the Winnipeg Free Press for a twelve month period
beginning February 1, 1942, two months prior to the announcement of the Sugar Beet
Programme and ending January 31, 1943, as original beet contracts covered only the 1942 crop
year.
My analysis follows two major themes: sugar beet farms as carceral sites and the use of
citizenship narratives to both legitimize and erase Japanese Canadian labour. Utilizing Fbucault's
notion of 'carceral', I show how disciplinary strategies were used to strip Japanese Canadians of
their social, economic and political citizenship. While Japanese Canadians were never formally
incarcerated, I argue that the term carceral needs to be reworked in order to include losses of
liberty that are not formally sanctioned. I examine newspaper reports regarding official state
policy, local community responses, protests and individual letters to the editors, and conclude
that, indeed, Japanese Canadians underwent surveillance, supervision, constraint and coercion,
all markers of incarceration.
Citizenship discourses were a crucial tool of both state and non-state agencies. Further,
'whiteness' was central to these discourses. Citizenship discourses such as patriotism and duty
were directed at 'white' citizens to encourage their acceptance of Japanese Canadian relocation.
Further, these same discourses were used to recruit a volunteer 'white' labour force. However,
despite the significant contributions of Japanese Canadians to this wartime industry, never were
these types of discursive rewards or the subsequent material benefits offered to them. Further, the
voices of Japanese Canadians were also silenced by the media. Thus, Japanese Canadians
became invisible and silent workers who could claim no voice and thus, no membership in the
nation. / Arts, Faculty of / Sociology, Department of / Graduate

Can I play? : experiences of non-instructional school times and their influences on identity development for young Punjabi girlsBasran, Mandeep Kaur. 10 April 2008 (has links)
This study speaks to the prominence of ethnocultural difference experienced by six punjabi young girls in Grade 5 at school during non-instructional school times and the extent to which these experiences are playing a role on the self-identity formations for these young girls. This inquiry delves into how these young girls, all born and being raised in Canada, are making sense of their difference and how they are engaged in constructing identities for themselves. A narrative method allowed for linking self-identity to the curriculum of noninstructional school times and how children's experiences of these times plays a role in identity formation. This study reveals some of the complexities and challenges of living as a young girl of a "minority" group brings to identity construction. Complexities and challenges that I attempt to bring to surface with the aid of the in-between space of hydridity, a space Ted Aoki terms Metonymic Space, Trinh Minh-ha's entitles Hybrid Place and Homi Bhabha calls Third Space. Through the framework of poststructuralism, the process of living and constructing identities is illuminated as being multilayered and evolving as it involves negotiations and contestations between how one views oneself and other's perceptions of you. By participating in the co-creating and co-writing of a story titled "A Day in the Life of a Punjabi Girl", the young girls included in this study were provided with an avenue for action and the production of a resource that could inform educators of the educational situation of punjabi girls and help them understand the life-world of these girls at this critical stage in their identity development. This resource may also help educators make changes for future generations of these young girls, and other students from visible minorities, in the school system.

Ghosts of another world: voices from the non-Indigenous descendents of former Canadian residential school staffHaiste, Kimberly 04 April 2013 (has links)
Based on Prime Minister Harper’s 2008 Apology for the Indian Residential School (IRS) system, this thesis addresses the need to confront the intergenerational legacy of this system on non-Indigenous Canadians in order to challenge our ability to actually ‘journey together’ with Indigenous Survivors. Aiming to break the silence that has surrounded this legacy, the voices of non-Indigenous descendents of former staff, as well as my own as a non-Indigenous Canadian, expose personal experiences of the lived reality of the IRS legacy.
Working from a narrative methodology from within a decolonizing framework, this research includes interviews with two descendents of former staff, as well as an auto-ethnography of myself, as researcher, to capture the lived experiences with relation to this legacy. Results from this introductory work illustrate a variety of themes needing to be acknowledged, and deals with notions of opening dialogue, violence, guilt and responsibility within the context of the IRS system. / Graduate / 0334 / 0626 / 0630 / khaiste@gmail.com
