Citing national security and societal welfare, the Harper government adopted a strict definition of family to limit access to citizenship for certain immigrants. Megan Gaucher analyzes the government's assessment of sexual-minority refugee claimants' relationship history, common-law and married spousal sponsorship applications, and marriage fraud, concluding that this narrative of citizenship reinforces racialized, gendered, and sexualized assumptions about the "Canadian family." As many Western governments ponder more restrictive immigration policies, A Family Matter offers a timely examination of the Canadian approach and proposes a course for re-evaluating how family is defined and implementing fairer assessments of immigrants and refugees."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 505 0 $a Invisibility of family in the Canadian conversation -- Inside/outside families: the politics of relationship recognition in Canadian law and policy -- The role of relationships in Canadian refugee determination process for sexual minorities -- An education in conjugality: experiences of common-law couples with spousal sponsorship -- Canada's anti-marriage fraud campaign and the production of "legitimate" conjugal citizens -- Rethinking conjugality. 651 0 $a Canada $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Family relationships $z Canada. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Government policy $z Canada. 650 0 $a Citizenship $z Canada. 650 7 $a Citizenship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861909 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Family relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967734 650 7 $a Immigrants $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967736 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration. $2 bisacsh 776 1 $a Gaucher, Megan, author. $t Family matter.: $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20189009896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E5B75AC462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
