Abstract

Shouts of 'Forza Italia!' rang out along St Clair Avenue West each time Italy won a game in World Cup 1994. But is a soccer tournament all that almost a half-million Italians in Toronto have in common? What does it mean to be Italian in Toronto? In this book Nicholas DeMaria Harney invites us to explore with him the symbols and sites of Italian culture in Toronto. Ethnic identity, we discover, is a process - it is constantly being remade and reproduced. Do Canadians look beyond the stereotypes that picture Italians as peasant construction workers, members of organized crime, and soccer fanatics to see the diversity of Italian life in Toronto? Second-generation Italian Canadians, familiar with Italy's fashion, sports, and design worlds have new images to confront. In today's global economy, ideas and products arrive rapidly from Italy, targeted at markets among people of Italian heritage and nourishing Italianit+, spaces of Italian cultural life.While the familiar greeting 'Eh Paesan!' is commonly used by young Italian Canadians, Harney leaves no doubt that their Italianness and that of their parents is rooted in Toronto.

Abstract

“We are making an interesting break with conventional sociology. In recent years sociologists, anthropologists, and other students of social behaviour have made considerable use of the network metaphor . as a peg, as a witching wand, and as a blueprint.” –from the Preface by Charles Tilly

Abstract

"Armed with the motto “Diversity Our Strength,” the City of Toronto has garnered a world-class reputation for challenging racism, largely because of how it is seen to value and include racialized groups through its diversity policies and practices. Toronto the Good? unsettles popular depictions of both diversity and the City of Toronto by attending to what diversity does in and for the City in the context of historical relations of race. Toronto the Good? brings together Shana Almeida’s critical insights as a former political staff member along with her years of in-depth research on diversity in the City of Toronto to offer a compelling case to rethink how we understand diversity and racial inclusion in the City of Toronto and beyond. Initiated in a local context, Toronto the Good? critically contributes to global discussions on diversity, race, democracy, political participation, and power."--
