Part 1 examinesstate practices and policies and illustrates how the Canadiangovernment has repeatedly targeted Arab Canadians. Part 2 examines howchanging policy frameworks have intersected with representations of, and public discourses on, Arab Canadians. Part 3 analyzes the voicesand resistance strategies of Arab-Canadians as they struggle againstnegative representations. "Targeted Transnationals" concludeswith reflections on the challenges to integration and the relevance ofmulticulturalism in the context of globalization andtransnationalism.Jenna Hennebry is an associate professor incommunication studies at Wilfrid Laurier University and the BalsillieSchool of International Affairs and associate director of theInternational Migration Research Centre.
