Document Summary
Veronis: ethnic groups within the city of toronto have appropriated specific places in the city so that they leave a mark/imprint in the city. Place and identity: essentialist and anti-essentialist approaches to ethnic identities. Latin americans in toronto: based on 2006 census, the latin american community was a 100,000 people in toronto, 3 quarters of the latin population are in ontario, new immigrants. Before 1960, canadian immigration was racial and latin americans were prevented from arriving because they were not caucasian and not european. Same as black community we rely on statistics canada that groups these people as latin american and spanish speaking groups. Just as diverse as europeans and blacks: arrived in different waves. A lot of people arrived from southern america. In 1970s, the us decided to reorganize politically southern part of american content so they decided to send money for regime in chile. Many people escaped from precarious situations so these were refugees.
