The central goal of this thesis is to examine the importance of a range of immigrant resources--not only human capital, but also social, financial cultural and psychological resources--in the process of immigrant integration, and to determine how these resources affect the relative success of independent and family class immigrants. Most immigration research conceptualizes integration in objective economic terms to the exclusion of other domains, with a concurrent preoccupation with immigrants' human capital resources; only recently has a competing explanation in the form of social resources emerged, though it remains understated. Using economic and well-being measures of integration, this thesis therefore addresses policy debates about the relative adaptability of these two immigrant classes, and contributes to a theoretically underdeveloped area by extending the definition of integration, and of the integration process, beyond the human capital model. The analysis uses data from the 'South Asian Newcomer Study' collected for this thesis, in which 109 face-to-face interviews were conducted with family and independent class South Asian immigrants. Findings indicate slight differences in human capital resources by immigrant class, though independent class respondents have higher levels of financial and cultural resources. Respondents' network structures vary by class, with family class respondents reporting smaller, more dense, kin-dominated networks, and higher overall levels of social support. In terms of economic integration measures, independent immigrants are more successful, though high levels of certain types of human capital are a liability to achieving economic integration. Moreover, family class respondents' poorer economic performance is linked to the composition of their networks, which disadvantage them in this domain of integration, and not to their human capital levels. Overall, social network and human capital variables are the strongest predictors of economic integration, challenging researchers' preoccupation with the latter. In terms of levels of well-being, family class respondents report higher levels despite poorer economic outcomes; this is explained by their superior levels of social support, which are the strongest predictors in conjunction with a measure of cultural capital. Results support a multidimensional conceptualization of integration that acknowledges the independence of different domains. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Knowledge of the integration process for refugees is often subsumed under the broader category of “immigrants”. This book focuses on this process for refugees, including the structural and systemic challenges they face as they integrate in their new host societies, and how they respond to such challenges. The book provides a critical analysis of Canada’s approach to integrating refugees with additional chapters focused on refugee integration in Australia, Northern Ireland, and the United States. This collection of work critically addresses a range of topics and employs a variety of qualitative approaches to gain a better understanding of the lived experience of integration for refugees, including the ways in which refugees view integration and the attendant challenges and opportunities encountered during the integration process. Departing from viewing refugees as a “burden” that must be shared by the international community, the contributors to this collection explore the complex dynamics of race, class, gender, ethnicity, age, generation and legal status for refugees in a selection of local contexts of reception. The work begins a dialogue about the long-term dynamics of refugee settlement and integration with implications for the viability of future resettlement programs and practices. How the world responds to the ongoing plight of the growing numbers of displaced people will be a defining feature of the contemporary global order. This collection shifts the discourse about refugees from one of victimhood to one of refugee agency and rights. The book will be of primary interest to academics in the field of refugee and migration studies, to practitioners in the settlement sector, and to those involved in making refugee policies. It will also be useful for those who work in social services and education in countries of the global north that receive refugees and refugee claimants, and anyone with an interest in refugee lives.

Sous la direction de Jean Renaud, Annick Germain et Xavier Leloup Les débats politiques et sociaux actuels portent peu souvent sur les questions du racisme et de la discrimination. Pourtant, malgré l’accent mis sur la défense des droits de la personne dans les sociétés démocratiques, l’objectif d’égalité n’a pas encore été atteint dans tous les domaines de la vie sociale. Au contraire, le racisme et la discrimination raciale ou ethnique continuent à se manifester et à s’exprimer, parfois de manière à peine voilée. Prenant acte de cette constante résurgence du racisme, le Centre d’études ethniques des universités montréalaises (CEETUM) a choisi d’organiser un colloque sur ce thème. Le présent ouvrage reprend les contributions réalisées à cette occasion. • Qu’est-il possible de savoir du racisme et de la discrimination dans nos sociétés contemporaines marquées par le pluralisme et la diversité ? Et, en particulier, qu’est-il possible de savoir du racisme et de la discrimination dans le Québec d’aujourd’hui ? • À quelles résistances font face les immigrants lorsqu’ils s’installent au Québec ? Comment la distance culturelle et religieuse interfère-t-elle dans les rapports sociaux ? Pourquoi le courant de l’éducation antiraciste est-il peu implanté dans le système scolaire ? • Quels sont les éléments psychosociaux et personnels qui sous-tendent le racisme et les conduites discriminatoires ? Par le caractère multidisciplinaire des réponses apportées à ces interrogations et par l’étendue des thèmes abordés, l’ouvrage saura intéresser aussi bien les spécialistes des sciences sociales que les gestionnaires et décideurs de plusieurs secteurs (immigration, emploi, urbanisme, éducation), et tous ceux et celles qui ont le courage de regarder en face et d’agir contre les contradictions de leur propre société. Ont contribué à cet ouvrage : Guy Bourgeault, Richard Bourhis, Marie-Hélène Chastenay, Marguerite Cognet, Paul Eid, Sylvie Fortin, Julie Elizabeth Gagnon, Annick Germain, Fasal Kanouté, Didier Lapeyronnie, Alberte Ledoyen, Xavier Leloup, Marie Mc Andrew, Annie Montreuil, Maryse Potvin, Jean Renaud, William J.
