The Pitfalls of Ethnic Aggregation
In the Canadian community of official statistics producers and users, there has been an ongoing debate about the feasibility of using 'visible minority' categories to capture the experiences of Canada's racial minorities. Rarely, however, has this issue been examined from a factual angle; that is, the success of those categories in capturing the experiences of the groups they represent, without suppressing the diversity behind each category in a …
A reflection on Sari Hanafi's ‘societal polarization, academic freedom, and the promise of dialogical sociology’
In a recent contribution to Dialogues in Sociology , Sari Hanafi (2025) warns about the perils of the ‘cancel culture' in particular, and the gradual weakening of tolerance and open dialogue in the university spaces. He argues that this is mostly the product of the actions of those who considers themselves attached to liberalism, but only symbolically so. In this reflection piece, I share the same concern with Hanafi, and argue that this dangerou…
Homo Emigraturus vs. Anti Emigraturus
The research on international migration suffers from a narrow conceptual focus on immigrants and an oversight of a much larger category, i.e. those who desire to migrate but cannot. We call the latter group Homo Emigraturus (‘about to leave’) – a group whose in-between position vis-à-vis migration makes them distinct from immigrant and non-migrant subpopulations, in outlook and behaviour. We examine this emerging phenomenon in the case of Iran, a…
Culture of Migration
Attention to the subjective aspects of the migration process has been rising recently, including attention to the notion of the 'culture of migration.' Triggered by an increase in the number of actual migrants and perpetuated through an increase in the desire for migration, the 'culture of migration' heavily affects the migration field in both receiving and, particularly, sending countries. In this article, we have examined the latter through the…
Cognitive Dissonance between a Conservative and a Liberal Gender Order
Previous research has shown that, after migration, some immigrant Muslim men experience a surge of marital conflicts-from the extent of their involvement in domestic labour, through challenges regarding the headship role of the household, to issues of divorce and child custody. In most cases, such conflicts surface against the background of a deeper conflict between the cultural gender norms in their old and new countries. There is, however, litt…

The power of the ‘ unintended’
Modern religious schools have been one of the most significant tools used for carrying out an ‘Islamisation project’ in the aftermath of the 1979 Revolution. Immediately after the Revolution, such schools were mandated with the goal of training a religious elite capable of taking on the leadership positions of the post-revolutionary state. Drawing on 32 face-to-face interviews with the graduates of those schools, this study explores the evolution…
John Porter Book Prize Lecture
In much of the academic debate on the integration of Muslims into Western liberal democracies, Islam is often treated as one or the sole independent variable in the lives of Muslims. Offering to view Islam-or the understanding of Islam among Muslims-as the dependent variable, The Muslim Question in Canada discusses the influence of socioeconomic forces in shaping the Muslim immigrants' opinions, modes of thinking, and even interpretations of thei…
The Economics of Attachment
Social Capital, Employment and Occupational Status of the New Immigrants in Canada
The Community Engagement of Immigrants in Host Societies
Using the data from the General Social Survey (2003), the community engagement of immigrants in Canada has been examined along 15 different dimensions. The findings indicate that immigrants add to the overall level of community engagement in Canada in the areas of confidence in public institutions ‐‐ such as judiciary, government, police, welfare system, education, and health care ‐‐ and involvement in religious activities. The areas in which imm…
Iranian Youth and Religion
A Canadian exceptionalism? Trust and diversity in Canadian cities
Religious Life Under Theocracy
The occurrence of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, followed by a large-scale 'Islamization' of society, resulted in some unique developments with regard to religious life in this country. Over the past two decades, there has been a lively debate among social scientists about the nature of such developments, and over their implications for other Middle Eastern and Islamic societies. Most of the contributions to this debate so far have been …
The Changing Colour of Poverty in Canada
À partir des données des recensements canadiens de 1991 et de 1996, nous nous penchons sur la question des immigrants pauvres et à faible revenu, un sujet très peu traité dans les travaux de recherche précédents sur l'immigration. Comparativement aux Canadiens de souche, les immigrants sont constamment surreprésentés dans la classe des pauvres. Cette surreprésentation comporte une orientation ethnique et raciale claire: les immigrants appartenant…
The invisible barrier
The Colour of Poverty
Research on immigrants' socio‐economic performances in Canada has produced mixed results. One reason for this has been the fact that many studies have used measures that rely on average performance of immigrants, and also treat immigrants as a homogeneous group. Also, some measures of economic performance are unnecessarily complicated. The present article argues that this practice masks the diversity of experiences that exist among immigrants. In…
