Lower-class and upper-class residents might have different memories of those days, but on one thing they would agree: it is a much different world in rural Ontario today. The old guard has lost most of its power, displaced partly by ?big brother? in the form of bureaucracy, and new comers from the city in search of affordable housing?even if it means commuting daily to work. Unlike their British-origin predecessors, the newcomers who have begun to appear in the countryside represent a wide range of ethnic and economic backgrounds.Paradise concentrates on the transformed class system of one community in rural Ontario. In a comparison of the decade following the First World War and the 1980s, Stanley R. Barrett analyses the changing face and structure of a town as it has had to adapt to modern social and economic realities. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of the commuter in search of affordable housing and the influx of immigrants of varied ethnic backgrounds, and the interaction between these newcomers and long-term residents. What is striking is just how massive the changes in small-town Ontario have been since the Second World War?to the extent of almost obliterating long-assumed distinctions between rural and urban society. 410 0$aAnthropological horizons ;$v5. 606 $aSociology, Rural$zOntario 606 $aSocial classes$zOntario 606 $aUrban-rural migration$zOntario 607 $aOntario$xRace relations 607 $aOntario$xEthnic relations 607 $aOntario$xRural conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociology, Rural 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aUrban-rural migration 676 $a307.72/09713 700 $aBarrett$b Stanley R.$0972787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460666603321 996 $aParadise$92212850 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03098nam 2200625 450 001 9910811807303321 005 20200903223051.0 010 $a90-04-25680-6 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004256804 035 $a(CKB)3710000000089001 035 $a(EBL)1633854 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001080906 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11681025 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001080906 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11071369 035 $a(PQKB)10417489 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1633854 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004256804 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1633854 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10837919 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL576019 035 $a(OCoLC)870950570 035 $a(PPN)178914509 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000089001 100 $a20130830d2014 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe Arabic script in Africa $estudies in the use of a writing system /$fedited by Meikal Mumin, Kees Versteegh 210 1$aBoston :$cBrill,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (420 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in Semitic languages and linguistics,$x0081-8461 ;$vvolume 71 300 $aMost of the papers in the present volume are based on presentations at the TASIA (The Arabic Script in Africa-Diffusion, Usage, Diversity and Dynamics of a Writing System) workshop, which took place on April 6-7, 2010, at the University of Cologne, Germany. 311 $a90-04-25679-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $asection I.

South Africa. 330 $aThe Arabic script in Africa contains sixteen papers on the past and present use of Arabic script to write African languages. These writing traditions, which are sometimes collectively referred to as Ajami, are discussed for single or multiple languages, with examples from all major linguistic phyla of Africa but one (Khoisan), and from all geographic areas of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and South Africa), as well as a paper on the Ajami heritage in the Americas. The papers analyze (ethno-) historical, literary, (socio-) linguistic, and in particular grammatological aspects of these previously understudied writing traditions and exemplify their range and scope, providing new data for the comparative study of writing systems, literacy in Africa, and the history of (Islam in) Africa. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;$v71. 606 $aArabic language$xWriting 606 $aArabic alphabet 607 $aAfrica$xLanguages 615 0$aArabic language$xWriting. 615 0$aArabic alphabet. 676 $a492.7/11096 701 $aMumin$b Meikal$01657478 701 $aVersteegh$b Kees$f1961-$01657479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811807303321 996 $aThe Arabic script in Africa$94010951 997 $aUNINA
