Ethnic Mosaic
The analogy of the mosaic is useful in answering three questions: How are the tiles in the mosaic distributed? Do the tiles all have equal influence? What is the nature of each of the tiles in the total design? Ethnic mosaic applies this to the variety of ethnic and cultural groups in plural societies. Some think the model of mosaic is too boundary oriented and have suggested that we need to focus more on ethnic networks and social ties to link t…
Multiculturalism: Sorting Identities, Rights, and Conflicts
Multiculturalism studies in Canada evolved into three major visions and debates after World War II. In the early 1970s, the British and French peoples assumed monolingual-monocultural states, and expected that others would assimilate into their dominant cultures. In the 1970s, this was changed to official bilingual and multicultural visions where more diversity was accepted. By the 1980s, demographic diversity called for debates on equal rights f…
Race and Ethnicity: Finding Identities and Equalities
Changing Boundaries: Sorting Space, Class, Ethnicity and Race in Ontario
Cet article examine les composantes que sont l'espace, la classe, l'ethnicité et la race dans le système urbain ontarien, notamment Toronto, Ottawa‐Hull, Hamilton et London, et surtout comment les trois dernières influent sur la différenciation résidentielle spatiale. Toronto est du type « minorité visible » alors que London est du type britannique‐loyaliste, Hamilton, col bleu industriel, et Thunder Bay, périphérique nord‐ouest. Les zones urbain…

Changing Visions in Ethnic Relations
Early studies focused on the relations between the dominant British and French charter groups, before Pierre Trudeau announced a policy of bilingualism and multiculturalism in 1971. A Royal Commission encouraged more research, where the focus of study turned from colonial to multicultural and multiethnic identity concerns, resulting in more open immigration policies. More immigrants of multiple races, religions, and cultures arrived, which requir…
Race and Racism: Canada’s Challenge
Race and Racism brings together critical contributions from the academic and government sectors that analyse the nature and extent of racism in Canada. The broad spectrum of social scientific approaches represented here - sociology, cultural anthropology, demography, and psychology - and an equal emphasis on quantitative and qualitative methods make this study a particularly rich source for scholars and policy makers alike. Discussion unfolds alo…

Testing the Innis and McLuhan Theses: Mennonite Media Access and TV Use
L'impact de la société moderne sur l'identité et les traditions ethniques a été très documenté. Une quantité considérable de recherches portant sur un large éventail de groupes ethniques ont traité de la relation entre l'ethnicité au Canada et le processus de modernisation. Le but de cet article est de voir dans quelle mesure les médias sont un indicateur de l'impact de la modernisation chez les Mennonites, au Canada et aux États‐Unis. The impact…
Pro Life or Pro Choice: Politics of Career and Homemaking
The United Nations Conference held in Cairo in September 1994 was dominated by the debate on abortion. The strong opposition to abortion, and attacks on feminist attitudes by the Vatican could not be ignored, even though many Catholics in Catholic countries did not share the Vatican's views (Keyfitz 1995, pp. 81-89). Support for the Vatican from Muslims also made abortion a significant issue in the debate and resulted in the 1994 Conference havin…
Potential Conflict, Conflict Stimulus, and Organizational Performance: An Empirical Test
Generally, this study contributes to our understanding of the situations when conflict facilitates performance versus when it hampers performance. More specifically, the study distinguishes between conflict potential, conflict stimulus, and actual conflict. We present two hypotheses that compare two competing views to further disentangle whether and when conflict is functional. Our empirical tests, using a sample of Mennonite congregations, lead …

Alert Opening and Closing: Mennonite Rural-Urban Changes1
Minorities adjust to society by shifting strategies. Survey samples in the United States and Canada indicate that Mennonites are becoming more urban, professional, and mobile. Good closing, such as support of religious values, norms, beliefs, morals, and practice, is stronger in rural areas than in the city. As urbanization increases, good opening, such as political participation and equal treatment of women and races, also rises between 1972 and…

Ethnic Self-Identity: A Comparison of Ingroup Evaluations
The purpose of this study is to define and explain various expressions of ethnicity by the use of an inventory designed to measure degrees of self-identity with respect to ingroup affirmation, ingroup denial, ideal self-identity, and real self-identity. A comparison of seven Winnipeg ethnic groups in relation to these factors indicated strong ingroup affirmation among the French and the Jews and a low degree of ingroup affirmation among British, …
Residential Segregation and Institutional Completeness: A Comparison of Ethnic Minorities
Cette étude de six groupes ethniques à Winnipeg démontre clairement l'importance de la ségrègation residentielle pour le maintien d'un degré de totalité d'un système institutionnel.

Doctrinal Belief: A Major Factor in the Differential Perception of Social Issues
An association between doctrinal beliefs and positions on social issues is posited. This study of the clergy in an industrial city demonstrated that doctrinal orthodoxy had an independent effect on positions taken on issues related to social control, personal morality, use of power by the elite, civil liberties, minority rights, and welfare support. Absolutist clergymen with a doctrinally conservative other-worldly focus were reluctant to change …

Interpersonal ties and alcohol use among Mennonites
Les divergences significatives au sujet de l'usage de l'alcool entre les peuples de pays différents et entre différents groupes, à l'intérieur de ces pays, montrent que les facteurs culturels sont des déterminants importants de l'usage de l'alcool. La recherche faite sur ces relations suggère que c'est le milieu social auquel un individu appartient qui fournit le mécanisme à travers lequel les normes culturelles au sujet de l'usage de l'alcool in…

Ethnic Opening and Closing in an Open System: A Canadian Example
This paper attempts to test Klapp's (b) position that a strictly open social system will be entropic. Data on seven ethnic groups in the Winnipeg area are used to test this claim. The data indicate that opening alone seems to be related to a state of entropy. Both the Poles and the Germans experienced considerable opening and very limited closing. This seems to cause marginality where individuals of each group could identify neither with their in…
Impelled Group Migration: Minority Struggle to Maintain Institutional Completeness
Ideology is an important motivating factor in the migrations of some groups. Frequent migrations from to lower economic advantage areas cannot be explained by economic motivation alone. The extensive exchange of population between Pakistan and India in the forties, the migrations of Jews to Israel, the Mormon trek to Utah, and the migrations of Hutterites and Mennonites are but a few recent examples of the influence of religious ideology on migra…

While O'Bryan and associates carried out a good comprehensive national survey in the 1970s of non‐official language use in Canada, such a major study rum needs to be done in the 1980s as well. Such a new update could use more sophisticated methods of analysis, to ensure greater penetration into the quality of language comprehension and use

Maintenance of Urban Ethnic Boundaries: The French in St. Boniface
The tendency to doom French Canadians outside Quebec to assimilation seems to be based on the premise that state boundaries with political and economic control over an ecological boundary are required in order for a population to be nationalized into a cohesive group. Although the French had early opportunities to dominate ecological, demographic, political and economic macro-structures in St. Boniface, they quickly lost out to the British. The F…

Individual Freedom vs. Community Control: An Adaptation of Erikson's Ontogeny of Ritualization
The author uses a modified version of Erikson's six-stage (numinous, judicial, dramatic, formal, ideal and nomatic) ontogeny of ritualization to discuss the problems of individual freedom and community control. A case study of Johann Driedger is used to highlight the struggle for individual freedom within a rural conservative Old Colony Mennonite community. The leaders of this ethnoreligious community sought to control their members in numinous r…
