Heritage, Culture, and Immigration: The Family Connection = Heritage, culture et immigration: Les relations familiales.
Theilheimer, Ish, Ed.; Eisner, Kathy, Ed.
Transition, v24 n4 Dec 1994
This issue of the Canadian journal "Transitions," presented in French- and English-language editions, deals with immigration as it relates to families. "Immigration, Integration, Families, Values: Old Wine in New Bottles" (Morton Weinfeld with Kathy Eisner) discusses the process of immigrant integration, which spans generations, and its impact on family and cultural values. "Immigrant Women Speak" consists of excerpts from two recent books about Canadian women and what it means to them to be a "hyphenated" Canadian. The importance of the family in preserving and promoting the language (French) and its bearing on the demography of Quebec are explored in "Quebec: The Politics of Survival" (Michel Vastel). In "How Tolerant Are We?" (Darrell Bricker), a pollster examines Canadians' attitudes on a range of issues associated with ethnocultural diversity and views regarding immigration. Also included in this journal issue are short articles about directions and options for redesigning federal programs, a campaign encouraging families to spend time together, and startling facts and statistics on poverty and the mental health of children.
