| Summary: | "Author marshals a variety of sociological and anthropological theories, four months of participant-observation notes, and other types of data to understand a 'new ethnic group' being born among the roughly 300 Salvadorans who moved to Calgary since the mid-1980s. Their 'pilgrimage' pushes them toward the Canadian values of success, individualism, materialism, and freedom (and away from their opposites), despite contrarian trends: suspicion of Canadian ways (e.g., footloose young people) and the preservation of distinctive group identities via compadrazgo, friendships, and soccer teams"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. |
