Proposed Book on Immigration and the Small City: Canadian Experiences and Perspectives

Edited by: Glenda Tibe Bonifacio (University of Lethbridge) and Julie Drolet (Thompson Rivers University)

A proposal is being prepared to develop an edited book on immigration in the small city. The book is intended to fill the gap on information related to this topic from a Canadian perspective. Other books focus on immigration experiences in large metropolitan areas such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. The proposed book will add to this literature while providing specific information about the immigration realities in the context of the small city in Canada.

The book aims to illustrate regional perspectives of the nature and role of small city immigration; demonstrate an inter-disciplinary focus on immigration in the small city; and share knowledge about the immigration realities in the Canadian context.

We are currently seeking abstracts for proposed chapters on any topic related to small city immigration in Canada including but not limited to the following:

·         Welcoming and Inclusive Communities
·         Settlement and Adaptation Services
·         Regionalization, Attraction and Retention Issues
·         Community and Regional Economic Development
·         Temporary Foreign Workers
·         Population and Demographic Trends
·         Community Partnerships
·         Housing
·         Public Education and Awareness
·         Culture and the Arts
·         Diversity, Gender, and Youth

Please submit a one page description including a title, abstract, short biography and contact details to Glenda Bonifacio and Julie Drolet. All author names need to be included with the corresponding author clearly identified. Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere.

Due date for abstracts: September 30, 2009 in MS word format to glenda.bonifacio@uleth.ca and jdrolet@tru.ca

Successful contributors will be notified by October 30, 2009. Completed chapters (6,000-8,000 words) are expected by March 30, 2010.
