However, places/people/cultures can no longer be thought of as distinct and separate since people/cultures are moving to and settling into places other than homelands. Thus, it is necessary to examine the process of migration and settlement and its impact on people/places/cultures in order to understand the relationship between people and places. This thesis explores the connections rather than the differences between places as illustrated through experiences of displacement, migration, and settlement among Afghans in Ottawa. It looks at how the place of birth or the homeland of Afghanistan as well as the place of settlement of Canada shape the (re)formation of Afghan community and identity through the conceptual framework of diasporic community. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Ontario; Cultural anthropology; 0326:Cultural anthropology | | Added Entry | : | Carleton University (Canada) |
