Summary and conclusions. 330 $aThe Afro-Caribbean community of Toronto has grown dramatically over the past few decades. Increasingly active as a political and cultural force in the life of the city, the group remains unknown to many of Toronto's other communities and institutions. Frances Henry offers the first intensive ethnographic examination of the community. Based on in-depth interviews and extensive observation, her study provides a richly detailed overview of the major cultural institutions in the lives of Afro-Caribbean residents of Toronto.Henry begins with an introduction to the Caribbean region, and the cultural and historical origins of its peoples. She focuses on the cultural practices that shape the community in Toronto, and the extent to which they facilitate or impede incorporation in Canadian society. Henry looks closely at male-female relationships, forms of family organization, and patterns of religious practice, and shows that some cultural patterns have been maintained by members of the community whereas others have changed during the migration process.Two factors emerge as the key to the Afro-Caribbean experience in Toronto. One is the class differences within the community, which play a crucial role in re-creating stratification patterns similar to those in the Caribbean. The other is systemic racism against people of Afro-Caribbean origin, which impacts in all areas of the community's life in Canada. 606 $aBlack people$zOntario$zToronto Region 606 $aBlack people$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWest Indians$zOntario$zToronto Region 606 $aImmigrants$zOntario$zToronto Region 606 $aRacism$zOntario$zToronto Region 607 $aToronto Region (Ont.)$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBlack people 615 0$aBlack people 615 0$aWest Indians 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aRacism 676 $a305.896/97290713541 700 $aHenry$b Frances$f1931-$01652622 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807742703321 996 $aThe Caribbean diaspora in Toronto$94120015 997 $aUNINA
