Abstract

In the Canadian winter of 2007, I was first introduced to the sights and smells of an 'ethnic enclave' (also called an 'ethno-burb', or less affectionately, an 'ethnic ghetto'). While following filmmaker Deepa Mehta shooting Heaven on Earth, a film about domestic violence in the Punjabi community in Brampton (a suburb of Toronto), I realised I had never seen so many turbaned gentlemen outside of the north Indian state of Punjab.
