Abstract: Patients in Wuhan, China, were the first to report symptoms of the coronavirus 2019 microbial pathogen which later became known as COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2. An outbreak was announced by the World Health Organization at the end of January, 2020 and the organization declared it a global pandemic on March 11. About twenty-two months later, some 260 million people were infected with COVID-19, and close to 5.2 million died. For Canada, these figures were just under 1.8 million and 29,600, respectively (Johns Hopkins 2021). During the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, governments around the world were largely unprepared and they instituted a series of extraordinary restrictions that included self-isolation ...

Abstract: Canada, as a nation-state, is relatively young. Although its history goes way back before its 150 years of colonial claim, when the land rightly belonged to the diverse Indigenous peoples who inhabited it, it is an accepted truth that settler societies, notably the British and the French, have greatly impacted the Canada we now know.Immigration, Racial and Ethnic Studies in 150 Years of Canada – Retrospects and Prospects sets out to critically review the past century and a half of Canadian nationhood and the complex relationships between its immigration policies and practices, the resulting racial and ethnic diversity throughout this timeframe and its future prospects.By way of introduction, editors Shibao Guo and ...

Abstract: Activating the Heart: Storytelling, Knowledge Sharing, and Relationship is a captivating non-fiction book which, through the incorporation of innovative methods, bridges settlers in Canada and Indigenous peoples. The book follows a workshop in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, of practitioners, academics, elders, and Indigenous community members, who gathered for three days to blend community and academic knowledge. The book acknowledges the differences between Western and Indigenous approaches regarding how knowledge is shared. The aim is clearly stated, which is “to make room for a different kind of education, one that builds necessary ties between community and academia to engender a space for broader ...

Abstract: Natsu Taylor Saito’s book, Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law: Why Structural Racism Persists, theorizes racial inequities from a legal perspective. The book’s main aim is to examine: (1) settler colonial theory and practice; (2) the relationship between racial justice and the law; and (3) domestic and international legal perspectives. In a critical race studies book series, Saito explains that it has been 70 years since the civil rights movement, yet things have not gotten much better for people of colour in terms of disparities and injustices…racial justice ultimately cannot succeed unless there is a willingness to acknowledge ongoing colonization.This 12-chapter book is organized thematically in three parts. ...

Abstract: Historically, Caribbean1 women were thought of as the quintessential migrant care workers.2 Structural adjustment programs and a lack of employment opportunities in Caribbean countries, coupled with the gendered and racial segmentation of labour markets in receiving nations, resulted in the overrepresentation of Caribbean women in low wage, low-status care work across the Global North. In Canada today, even with various changes to immigration policies and aggressive labour exportation by the Filipino government, as of 2016, Caribbean women remain clustered in care work occupations. Yet, public perception of Canada’s care economy now associates a different—often Filipina—face with the “island girl” working as a ... Read More PubDate: 2022-02-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Since the social-political changes of the Quiet Revolution during the 1960s, Québec has experienced much lower birth rates1 (Beaujot 2000; Krull and Trovato 2003) and may well face serious demographic challenges in the future (Dubreuil and Marois 2011; Termote, Payeur, and Thibault 2011). Given the dramatic secularization which accompanied the industrialization of the region (Meunier and Wilkins-Laflamme 2011), religiously based natalist appeals have become non-starters. According to the noted socio-linguist, Jacques Leclerc (2015) of the Université de Montréal, therefore, “[d]epuis quelques décennies, le gouvernement du Québec espère compenser en partie les pertes dues à la dénatalité par une hausse de ...

Abstract: “An unforgettable love story embedded in a searing indictment of Canada’s First World War internment operations.” So begins the description of Barbara Sapergia’s Blood and Salt (2012), included on its back cover. “[N]ot unlike Joy Kogawa’s Obasan,” readers are promised, the novel will “open [our] eyes and break [our] hearts” as it carries us “into the human centre of one of this nation’s most shameful and well-kept secrets.” I know well that promise, as I am the one who made it.To be clear, the strict focus of this paper is Blood and Salt; I make mention of Obasan (1981) not because I intend to compare and contrast the two novels but because my analysis of Sapergia’s novel is indebted to scholarship related to ...

Abstract: Les nouveaux arrivants francophones qui s’établissent dans les communautés fran-cophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM) font face à une réalité qui diffère de celle des autres immigrants sous plusieurs aspects. L’une des différences majeures est la faible institutionnalisation des CFSM, surtout dans le contexte d’un établissement au sein de communautés de petite taille comme celle de la Saskatchewan. Pour les besoins de cette étude, les nouveaux arrivants francophones sont compris comme les immigrants arrivés au Canada depuis cinq ans ou moins et capables de parler français. Signalons que tous ne sont pas reconnus par Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC) comme « francophones » et la plupart parlent ... Read More PubDate: 2022-02-15T00:00:00-05:00
