摘要
论文分析了加拿大华人移民构成的变化和地理分布、加拿大多伦多华人商业发展与演变及其理论与社会意义,并以"劳动力市场排斥论""文化差异论"和"多因素相互作用论"等社会学理论解释了为何在多伦多众多的少数民族中,华人经营的商业最为发达、自给程度最高。华人人口的持续增长,促使华人商业出现了与30年前迥然不同的经营模式,既对当地的经济发展做出了很大贡献,也对城市规划和社区生活带来了一定的冲击和影响。而随着移民人数的增加和社会文化的多元化,传统的、单向的"归化"模式已经不合时宜,取而代之的应该是一种新的双向的甚至是多向的"相互融合"的社会发展方式。
Among ethnic groups in metropolitan Toronto, the Chinese are most dynamic in developing their business. This article attempts to explain the success of Chinese economic activities by analyzing the changing demographic composition and geographic distribution of the Chinese population in Toronto, exploring the new patterns of Chinese business activities, and employing various theories such as ＂Blocked Mobility Thesis＂, ＂Cultural Division of Labor＂, and ＂ Interactive Model of Ethnic Entrepreneurship ＂. The author argues that acculturation instead of assimilation will be a new direction for a muhicultural society.
