The Internet communication infrastructure enables communication among geographically dispersed groups of people. Although the underlying technology is recent, it is fairly well understood. However, the dramatic rise of Internet access in recent years has led to new conditions of communication, the sociological implications of which are not well understood, as there has simply not passed enough time to observe the use people make of the technology. The book reports on several projects which aimed at filling this gap. The intended audience of the book includes anyone interested in computer mediated communication, with emphasis on group communications, such as newsgroups (open to anyone at large), multi-user virtual worlds (MUDs), mailing lists (with a restricted set of participants). The book is very diverse in terms of methodologies used in the individual chapt...

By exploring the nature, modalities, frequency, financial and well-being consequences of transnational care provisions, gender-specific patterns are discerned, as well as implications for citizenship. Our findings show that the consequences of these gendered provisions of transnational care are not always the reinforcement of stereotypical gender roles, but, at times, can also include their contestation. Moreover, although caring bonds remain strong across borders, "bi-focality" does not undermine social cohesion but can strengthen feelings of belonging and Canadian citizenship. Ultimately, this local case study, which includes the social, economic, political and emotional dimensions of transnational caregiving, points to the broader repercussions of such care practices, involving a potentialy more inclusive and feminist global citizenship.

This issue of Canadian Ethnic Studies/Études ethniques au Canada has its origins in a workshop held at the Tenth National Metropolis Conference, which was held in Halifax. In many ways it continues a conversation left unfinished in that session. The nine articles deal with various experiences of second-generation Canadian youth through qualitative and quantitative research and in-depth and nuanced analyses. Several of the articles discuss the conceptual challenges and ambiguities of the second generation (Byers and Tastsoglou; Gallant; Hébert et al). The majority deal with the term in a pragmatic way according to their research needs. A broad definition of second generation is adopted to include the 1.5 generation (those born outside Canada but coming to Canada at an early age (Hassan et al.; Amarasingam), as well as the new generation youth from visible minority immigrant families, which also includes the 1.5 generation (Miu et al.). The focus of the issue is on youth-the stage in life when major transitions usually take place, such as graduating from school, entering post-secondary institutions, entering the labour market, forming new households, but also coming to terms with ethno-cultural identities. It is in these junctures that the most "telling examples of the things that make the second generation distinctive" (Kobayashi 2008, 3) take place. The majority of articles in this issue center on the nature of ethno-cultural identification in the second generation and beyond, its difference from that of the immigrant parents, as well as its relationship to being Canadian, and how this relationship plays out in particular localities, cities, and regions of Canada or within particular ethno-cultural groups. Jurva and Jaya deal with the identity and ethnic identification experiences of Finnish second-generation youth in Ottawa and how the latter balance their Canadian identity and appreciation of multiculturalism with their ethnocultural roots. Being Canadian in the context of multiculturalism includes the possibility of being Finnish. Although the connections with "Finnishness" vary greatly, overall the Canadian cultural identity is highly salient, while the meaning and practice of "Finnishness" is selective and symbolic. Gallant's findings speak
