Power in Modern Societies
Religiosity in Canada and the United States
Comparing degrees of religiosity, Canada and the US have been moving along divergent trajectories for the past several decades. Regional variations are evident in both societies, but, taken as a whole, the divergence holds up even when these intrasocietal differences are accounted for. Neither the classic secularization thesis nor the more popular religious economy model in the sociology of religion adequately explain the contemporary disparities…
Transnationalism or assimilation? Patterns of sociopolitical adaptation among Canadian business immigrants
This study analyses patterns of sociopolitical incorporation among immigrant entrepreneurs in Ontario who entered Canada under the auspices of the federal Business Immigration Program [BIP] between 1984 and 1994. The analysis focuses specifically on issues of transnationalism, adaptation to mainstream social and political institutions, and citizenship. In-depth interviews of a sample of BIP entrepreneurs reveal that, over a period of eight to eig…
The use of social and human capital among Canadian business immigrants
Social capital in the form of ethnic networks and family ties is assumed to function critically in the establishment and operation of immigrant-owned businesses. In this paper I argue that, although the formation and expenditure of social capital may typify the experiences of many immigrant entrepreneurs, some enter the host society with sufficient human capital to enable them to forego the utilisation of social capital in the adaptation process.…

Ethnic Enterprise in Ontario
Participation in the small business sector by immigrants in Ontario is examined, using a theoretical model that views immigrant enterprise as a product of class and ethnic resources in combination with a favorable opportunity structure. Hong Kong Chinese predominate among recent immigrant entrepreneurs and are concentrated in the Toronto metropolitan area. These patterns are attributed to strong push factors in the sending society and the existen…

East Indians in small business
The East Indian small business class of Toronto is examined, using middleman minority and ethnic enclave models as an analytic framework. The most apparent feature of this entrepreneurial group is its bifurcated structure: one element is linked to the ethnic community while another is virtually independent of it. While some of the features of middleman minorities are evident, neither middleman nor enclave patterns of ethnic enterprise are clearly…
El Norte
Will They Still Be Dancing? Integration and Ethnic Transformation among Yugoslav Immigrants in Scandinavia
Indulged with sociological self-centeredness we have reduced vampires to mechanisms of social cohesion. Hence,we have questioned a culture, seeing vampires as what they are, the dead ones haunting
Asians in the Northern Ireland economy
Patterns of immigration and settlement of Chinese and Indians in Northern Ireland are examined, and analysis is made of the economic roles they currently play. Both groups are found to be demographically small and dispersed, almost entirely concentrated in the petit bourgeoisie, and occupationally specialised. Virtually the entire Chinese population is confined to the restaurant trade, and Indians are disproportionately active in the retail cloth…
Business strategies among East Indian entrepreneurs in Toronto
This article examines the class and ethnic resources used by East Indian immigrants in self-owned enterprise and the opportunity structure within which they operate. A non-probability sample (N=38) of East Indian entrepreneurs in Toronto is the primary data source. Major findings attest to an individualistic business strategy employed by these entrepreneurs in which class resources are more consequential than ethnic networks or communal ties

Ethnic Succession in Detroit Politics, 1900-1950
In tracing the changing ethnic patterns in the composition of the highest elective offices in Detroit from 1900 to 1950, the author distinguishes three eras in the ethnic makeup of the city's political elite directly related to shifts in the economic and industrial structure. The relative ethnic balance during the first two decades of the century was displaced by Anglo-Saxon domination after the automotive industrialists, Detroit's new economic e…
A Reexamination of Gordon's Ethclass
Much of present theory and research concerning class and ethnicity overlooks or discounts the overlapping effects of these two social dimensions upon individual behavior and group structure. Gordon's ethclass is discussed as the most proximate attempt at a conceptual model which integrates the two. Hypotheses suggested by this scheme as it relates to multi-ethnic, highly stratified societies are discussed. It is suggested that the three variables…
