Thesis (M.Ed.)--York University (Canada), 2010.

My thesis will explore what Black children of the northwest Brampton community of Fletcher's Meadow can expect in terms of life opportunities. The term 'life opportunities' is a catchall phrase that incorporates many of the socio-economic factors that contribute to quality of life. More specifically, when I think of the term "life opportunities," I am referring to the prospects of becoming a homeowner; living within a safe, crime free community; and having bright, educational opportunities. I view these as desirable traits that, regardless of location, families aspire to. The interplay of these factors contribute towards one's social mobility, meaning that if one did not have the means to own their home, lived in a neighbourhood with rampant crime and their children had limited educational opportunities, it would be safe to assume that one would not want to remain in that environment given the opportunity to leave.

520 $a My thesis will explore what Black children of the northwest Brampton community of Fletcher's Meadow can expect in terms of life opportunities. The term 'life opportunities' is a catchall phrase that incorporates many of the socio-economic factors that contribute to quality of life. More specifically, when I think of the term "life opportunities," I am referring to the prospects of becoming a homeowner; living within a safe, crime free community; and having bright, educational opportunities.

520 $a The intent of my thesis is to contribute to the modern exploration of Blacks in a suburban Canadian context that has only recently started to be explored. I wish to examine how life opportunities present themselves in this new landscape. The significance of this work is considerable in terms of its importance to the Black Canadian community, mainstream society, and academia. The ultimate goal is to create awareness within and beyond the Black community with respect to the present realities of living within a suburban context and highlight any opportunities and challenges they have and continue to endure. Concurrently, I wish to provoke continued dialogue, informed discussion, as well as inspire further research in the area of Black studies in Canada.
