Ain't Making It in America
This study interviewed 350 African immigrants in North Carolina (NC) to shed light on their economic conditions. It focused primarily on their labor force participation and incomes for the period 2004–2014.

The study also yielded a complex picture…
Opinion of White Americans about African Americans
International Aid
A number of possible purposes exist for Canada's international aid program: humanitarian assistance, promotion of global security, and expansion of global trade. But the opinions of the Canadian public on international aid hardly fit into these official objectives.

Family Class Immigration
This paper examines the implications of post-multiculturalism for family class immigration to Canada. The authors argue that the goal off acilitating family reunification is not facilitated by Canadian immigration policy. A new, more inclusive definition of ''family,'' one that reflects the cultural and social diversity of newcomer groups must be adopted in order for the reunification program to fulfill its mandate
Integration of Landed Refugee Claimants in Canada
This paper seeks to develop a framework for explaining the integration process of landed refugee-claimants in Canada. The main focus is on Third World origin landed claimants who arrived in Canada during the 1980s. The central argument is that the social and economic background of landed refugee-claimants, together with their past and recent experiences, tend to result in their marginalization within the Canadian socioeconomic context. Past exper…
