Half of Toronto's population is born outside of Canada and over 140
languages are spoken on the city's streets and in its homes. How to
build community amidst such diversity is one of the global
challenges that Canada - and many other western nations - has to
face head on. Making a Global City critically examines the themes
of diversity and community in a single primary school, the Clinton
Street Public School in Toronto, between 1920 and 1990. From the
swift and seismic shift from a Jewish to southern European
demographic in the 1950s to the gradual globalized community
starting in the 1970s, Vipond eloquently and clearly highlights the
challenges posed by multicultural citizenship in a city that was
dominated by Anglo-Protestants. Contrary to recent well-documented
anti-immigrant rhetoric in the media, Making a Global City
celebrates one of the world's most multicultural cities while
stressing the fact that public schools are a vital tool in
integrating and accepting immigrants and children in liberal
democracies.
In an ever-changing and interdependent world, diversity has become
the norm, not the exception. Our constantly evolving understanding
of intercultural communication and its rich complexities calls us
to question, review, and renew our intervention practices.
Intercultural Twinnings: A Commitment for a Pluralistic Society
examines the impact of intercultural twinnings when people of
different backgrounds, ethnicities, languages, and religions come
into contact with each other in a variety of learning and work
environments. These twinnings are more than language exchanges
because they promote intercultural contacts, constructive
individual interactions, and ultimately, more harmonious intergroup
relations. Whether face-to-face or virtual, it is through these
exchanges that participants learn from each other and appreciate
the challenges and benefits of discovering the Other. The
contributors to this volume explore theoretical models, methods,
and intervention tools to support the work of teachers,
researchers, practitioners, and university students.
This workbook is based on a traditional recovery program. This
workbook is meant to be a self-help manual on your road to
recovery. It does not, however, take the place of a professional
therapist who is trained in addiction counseling. If you or a loved
one is in need of counseling (which is a great tool on this
journey) then I encourage you to explore the concept of individual
counseling. Joanna Johnson, MSW
