  • The Marking of Tamil Youth As Terrorists and the Making Of
    THE MARKING OF TAMIL YOUTH AS TERRORISTS AND THE MAKING OF CANADA AS A WHITE SETTLER SOCIETY by Gillian Geetha Philipupillai A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Social Justice Education Ontario Institute of Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Gillian Geetha Philipupillai (2013) ii THE MARKING OF TAMIL YOUTH AS TERRORISTS AND THE MAKING OF CANADA AS A WHITE SETTLER SOCIETY Master of Arts 2013 Gillian Geetha Philipupillai Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Social Justice Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis examines the production of Tamil youth in the state of Canada as threats, extremists, radicals, terrorists, and as subjects to be engaged in de-politicized humanitarian discourses of reconciliation and peace. By drawing attention to the exclusion of Tamils from rights in legal proceedings, the positioning of youth protesters as harbingers of a multicultural ‘crisis,’ and the role of education in securing Canada’s response to the MV Sun Sea as a ‘humanitarian’ project, I argue that the targeting Tamils is not only integral to Sri Lanka’s ongoing genocide, but is also crucial to the Canadian state’s project of white settler colonialism. In examining the law, media and education as sites of racial management in the ‘War on Terror’ and its globalized counter-terrorism regime I identify the targeting of Tamil diaspora youth as a necessary racial logic for the legitimacy of the Canadian state in an era of official multiculturalism. iii Acknowledgments The first time I visited Canada as a young child, my father bought me a map of the world.

It does so by discussing Tamil street gangs in London, Toronto and Paris. The Tamil Diaspora played a key role in the war between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which raged between 1983 and 2009. In spite of being a marginal phenomenon in the Tamil Diaspora, Tamil street gangs became part of a wider culture of fear within the Tamil community and possibly reinforced the LTTE’s dominance over and fundraising in the Diaspora.

  • Gang Presence in Social Network Sites
    Décary-Hétu & Morselli - Gang Presence in Social Network Sites Copyright © 2011 International Journal of Cyber Criminology (IJCC) ISSN: 0974 – 2891 July – December 2011, Vol 5 (2): 876–890 This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non- Commercial-Share Alike License, which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This license does not permit commercial exploitation or the creation of derivative works without specific permission. Gang Presence in Social Network Sites David Décary-Hétu1 & Carlo Morselli2 Université de Montréal, Canada Abstract From the start of the new millennium, social networking sites have become very popular. These sites have provided a space for many to vent their feelings, get new and connect with old friends. Unfortunately, the same sites have been misused by criminal groups for colliding with similar groups and also recruit new individuals to this group. This present paper is a qualitative study which aims to analyze the presence of gangs in the social networking sites, especially in Canada and also in other countries. The results of this study indicate a large presence of gangs in social networking sites. Keywords: Social networking sites; cyber crime; gangs; criminal groups; Canada. Introduction Social networking sites are one of the leading trends in the ever-evolving internet 2.0. Facebook, the most popular of these websites, now has more than 800 million active members (Facebook, 2012), making its population larger than that of most countries. The time spent on such networks by each person has also increased dramatically over the last few years as individuals increasingly rely on them.
