Putting Family First illustrates how the family context can be mobilized to facilitate the successful integration of newcomers. In the process, it provides a ground-up perspective that gives voice to newcomer families and community partners and offers important guidance to practitioners and policy makers in Canada and beyond. When migrants reach their new home, we often interpret their settlement and integration as an individual process driven largely by the labour market. But family plays a crucial role. Putting Family First is the fruit of a four-year academic–community partnership to investigate the experience of immigrant families settling in Canada’s main immigration gateway, Greater Toronto. Contributors explore the entire integration trajectory of immigrant families. This fluid process extends from newcomers’ initial reception to their deep involvement in and attachment to their receiving society. Chapters examine the interrelated themes of the policy environment, children and youth, gender, labour markets and work, and community supports, making insightful connections between concepts such as neoliberalism, resilience, and social capital. This expansive, interdisciplinary volume addresses the complex relationship between family and integration from a range of perspectives, applying rigorous academic research to solve practical problems. | Putting Family First by Harald Bauder, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
