CULTURE CHANGE AM)THE CONSUMPTION OF BASIC FOODS: THE CASE OF LEBANESE-CANADIANS Rony J. Kastoun This paper is concemed with the relationship between culture change and the consumption of basic foods. The literature dealing with acculturation. ethnic identification. and consumption is reviewed and focused on an ethnic group neglected in the consumer research literature: the Lebanese-Canadians. Hypothrses regarding the relative power of acculturation and rthnic identity as two separate yet correlated constructs that predict a variation in the consumption fiequencies of various basic food items are drawn and a multidimensional culture change mode1 is built. A survey using a convenience sample of Lebanese-Canadians residing in the Montreal .Lletropolitan Area is analysed. The results reveal that acculturation aqd ethnic identification are multidimensionai constructs which have some impact on ethnic majority and chic minonty basic foods. respectively. In addition, evidence is found that Lebanese-Canadian respondents reside in at least a two- culture world. Severai consumer lifestyle factors also rmerge fiom the data analysis with differing relationships with culture change. Finally, implications for marketers are discussed dong with limitations and directions for funue research.

Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science ! ! School of Political Studies Faculty of Social Science University of Ottawa ! ! © Alex M. Johnston, Ottawa, Canada, 2017. The Mobile Citizen ii Abstract ! Mobility, as the ability among newcomers and citizens to move temporarily and circularly across international borders and between states, has become a pervasive norm for a significant portion of Canada’s population. Despite its pervasive nature and the growing public interest, however, current research has been limited in how Canadian policies are reacting to the ability of citizens and newcomers to move. This thesis seeks to fill that gap by analyzing Canada’s treatment of mobility within and across policies of immigration, citizenship and foreign affairs. An analytical mobility framework is developed to incorporate interdisciplinary work on human migration and these policy domains. Using this framework, an examination of policy developments in each domain in the last decade reveals that they diverge in isolation and from a whole-of-government perspective around the treatment of mobility. In some instances policy accommodates or even embraces mobility, and in others it restricts it.

  • Citizenship Revocation in the Mainstream Press: a Case of Re-Ethni- Cization?
    Citizenship RevoCation in the MainstReaM pRess: a Case of Re-ethni- Cization? elke WinteR ivana pRevisiC Abstract. Under the original version of the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act (2014), dual citizens having committed high treason, terrorism or espionage could lose their Canadian citizenship. In this paper, we examine how the measure was dis- cussed in Canada’s mainstream newspapers. We ask: who/what is seen as the target of citizenship revocation? What does this tell us about the direction that Canadian more often critical than supportive of the citizenship revocation provision. However, the press ignored the involvement of non-Muslim, white, Western-origin Canadians in terrorist acts and interpreted the measure as one that was mostly affecting Canadian Muslims. Thus, despite advocating for equal citizenship in principle, in their writing and reporting practice, Canadian newspapers constructed Canadian Muslims as sus- picious and less Canadian nonetheless. Keywords: Muslim Canadians; Citizenship; Terrorism; Canada; Revocation Résumé: Au sein de la version originale de la Loi renforçant la citoyenneté cana- dienne (2014), les citoyens canadiens ayant une double citoyenneté et ayant été condamnés pour haute trahison, pour terrorisme ou pour espionnage, auraient pu se faire révoquer leur citoyenneté canadienne. Dans cet article, nous étudions comment ce projet de loi fut discuté au sein de la presse canadienne. Nous cherchons à répondre à deux questions: Qui/quoi est perçu comme pouvant faire l’objet d’une révocation de citoyenneté? En quoi cela nous informe-t-il sur les orientations futures de la citoy- enneté canadienne? Nos résultats démontrent que les journaux canadiens sont plus critiques à l’égard de la révocation de la citoyenneté que positionnés en sa faveur.

  • Representations of Race and Italian-Ness in Canada's Printed Media Kr
    CAN ITALIAN-CANADIANS HAVE THEIR CANNOLI AND EAT IT TOO? REPRESENTATIONS OF RACE AND ITALIAN-NESS IN CANADA’S PRINTED MEDIA KRYSTA PANDOLFI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO March 2018 © Krysta Pandolfi, 2018 Abstract In 2009, Dina Pugliese, co-host of a popular daily television show in Toronto, stated in an interview that she was hesitant to pursue an on-camera career because she worried that she was “too spicy-Italian.” Her words speak to long-standing stereotypes of Italians, developed out of eighteenth and nineteenth century representations of Italy. Clearly, hers is not an identity that has been uncomplicatedly subsumed into Whiteness. Stereotypes borrowed from Europe mark Italian-Canadians, who mostly come from Southern Italy, and who were seen (both inside and outside of Europe) as ‘swarthy’, ‘hot-blooded’ and ‘short-tempered.’ In this dissertation, I examine the concept of Italian-ness in two culturally specific Italian- Canadian magazines, Panoram Italia and Accenti. Thematic data was collected to explore how the magazines construct the image of the Italian-Canadian in their editorial discourses and how this discourse analysis may serve to reveal existing racialized power relations. I identify parallels between Italy as Europe’s south and the Italian-Canadian community, and the ways they serve to function as a filter to understanding Italian-Canadian migration and ongoing concepts of difference within Canada. Furthermore, I explore how the magazine editorial discourses strove to define the interplay between Italian-ness within Canada’s ethno-racial categorizations.

  • ABSTRACT Italian Canadian Women
    ABSTRACT Italian Canadian women "crossing the border" to graduate education BY Josephine Mazzuca Ph.D Dissertation Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto 2000 This dissertation examines the educational experiences ofwomen in graduate education whose parents are Italian immigrants. Data are collected through in-depth interviews with Italian Canadian women about schooling, family, ethnicity and relationships. The women's experiences are discussed in the interconnected contexts of the Italian immigrant experience, the education system, and, in particular, graduate education. Although Italian immigrants and their descendants form one of the largest ethnic groups in Canada, their participation in the educational system has gone largely undocumented except as part of large studies on various ethnic groups in the Metropolitan area. The second generation of Italian Canadians has been educated in the Canadian system and raised by immigrant parents who have had little experience with this system. Using qualitative methods, this study examines the educational experiences of Italian-Canadian women. The women are graduate students who were born and educated in Canada and whose parents immigrated to Canada in the post World War Two period. Being raised in an immigrant home has influenced the women's encounters with education and the decisions they have made. Issues of resistance and assimiletion are considered in this study. Findings from this research include the discovery of four roles which the women adopt in order to "survive" graduate school. The women develop these roles in order to find ways to approach their graduate work while maintaining the important relationships in their personal lives.

  • Canada's Greek Moment: Transnational Politics, Activists, and Spies During
    CANADA’S GREEK MOMENT: TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS, ACTIVISTS, AND SPIES DURING THE LONG SIXTIES CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2016 © CHRISTOPHER GRAFOS, 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Greek immigrant homeland politics during the period of Greece’s military dictatorship, 1967 to 1974, in Toronto and Montreal. It carefully considers the internal dynamics of anti-junta activism in Canada’s Greek populations, but it also contemplates the meanings of external perceptions, particularly from the Canadian state and Canadian public discourse. The study acknowledges the dominant paradigm of Greek immigrants as unskilled workers, however, it demonstrates that this archetype is not monolithic. In many ways, it is challenged by a small number of Greeks who possessed skills to write letters to politicians, create petitions, organize public rallies, and politically mobilize others. At the same time, this dissertation carefully considers Canada’s social and political environment and shows how uniquely Canadian politics ran parallel to and informed Greek homeland politics. Transnationalism is used as an analytical tool, which challenges the meaning of local/national borders and the perception that they are sealed containers. The main argument expressed here is that environments shape movements and migrant political culture does not develop in a vacuum. Each chapter deals with specific nuances of anti-junta activism in Toronto and Montreal. Chapter One examines the organized voices of the Greek community’s anti-dictatorship movement. The chapter’s latter section looks at how the Panhellenic Liberation Movement (PAK), led by Andreas Papandreou, consolidated itself as the main mouthpiece against Greece’s authoritarian regime.
