Abstract

Sounds of Ethnicity takes us into the linguistic, cultural, and geographical borderlands of German North America in the Great Lakes region between 1850 and 1914. Drawing connections between immigrant groups in Buffalo, New York, and Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, Barbara Lorenzkowski examines the interactions of language and music-specifically German-language education, choral groups, and music festivals-and their roles in creating both an ethnic sense of self and opportunities for cultural exchanges at the local, ethnic, and transnational levels. She exposes the tensions between the self-declared ethnic leadership that extolled the virtues of the German mother tongue as preserver of ethnic identity and gateway to scholarship and high culture, and the hybrid realities of German North America where the lives of migrants were shaped by two languages, English and German. Theirs was a song not of cultural purity, but of cultural fusion that gave meaning to the way German migrants made a home for themselves in North America.Written in lively and elegant prose, Sounds of Ethnicity is a new and exciting approach to the history of immigration and identity in North America.

Abstract

Cet article tente d'éclairer la situation contemporaine du Québec en matière d'immigration par un rappel historique de l'évolution des quelque quarante dernières années. On souligne le fait que l'intégration résolue et massive des immigrants à la communauté francophone du Québec est un phénomène nouveau, celui d'une seule génération. Suit une analyse de la colère publique qui s'est manifestée au Québec, surtout au cours de l'année 2007, sur la question des accommodements raisonnables. Un dérapage engendré par une distorsion perceptuelle. Enfin, différents modèles d'intégration sont confrontés et des propositions sont avancées. This article aims at shedding some light on Quebec's contemporary situation in matters of immigration. With a historical overview of the last forty years, it appears that a firm policy of massive integration of immigrants into the Francophone community is a new phenomenon, involving just one generation. Following is an analysis of the public anger that took place around 2007 on the issue of reasonable accommodations. This appears to correspond, in great part, to illfated misperceptions. Finally, different models of integration are confronted to Quebec's identity and some proposals are made.

Abstract

Ethnic Europe examines the increasingly complex ethnic challenges facing the expanding European Union. Essays from eleven experts tackle such issues as labor migration, strains on welfare economies, the durability of local traditions, the effects of globalized cultures, and the role of Islamic diasporas, separatist movements, and threats of terrorism. With Europe now a destination for global immigration, European countries are increasingly alert to the difficult struggle to balance minority rights with social cohesion. In pondering these dilemmas, the contributors to this volume take us from theory, history, and broad views of diasporas, to the particularities of neighborhoods, borderlands, and popular literature and film that have been shaped by the mixing of ethnic cultures.
