Abstract

The Persistence of Whiteness investigates the representation and narration of race in contemporary Hollywood cinema. Ideologies of class, ethnicity, gender, nation and sexuality are central concerns as are the growth of the business of filmmaking. Focusing on representations of Black, Asian, Jewish, Latina/o and Native Americans identities, this collection also shows how whiteness is a fact everywhere in contemporary Hollywood cinema, crossing audiences, authors, genres, studios and styles.Bringing together essays from respected film scholars, the collection covers a

Abstract

In the 1970's, white ethnics mobilized around a new version of the epic tale of plucky immigrants making their way in the New World through the sweat of their brow. Although this turn to ethnicity was for many an individual search for familial and psychological identity, Roots Too establishes a broader white social and political consensus arising in response to the political language of the Civil Rights movement.

Abstract

Ties to the Homeland examines the connections maintained across national borders by the children of migrants, the "second generation." In the context of globalisation and increasing population mobility, migrants' transnational ties have become an important topic of research, yet until recently we have heard little about the reproduction of such ties in the second generation. The transnational engagements of migrants' children are crucial for understanding future trends in the global movement ...

Abstract

In 1900 W. E. B. DuBois prophesied that the colour line would be the key problem of the twentieth-century and he later identified one of its key dynamics: the new religion of whiteness that was sweeping the world. Whereas most historians have confined their studies of race-relations to a national framework, this book studies the transnational circulation of people and ideas, racial knowledge and technologies that under-pinned the construction of self-styled white men's countries from South Africa, to North America and Australasia. Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds show how in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century these countries worked in solidarity to exclude those they defined as not-white, actions that provoked a long international struggle for racial equality. Their findings make clear the centrality of struggles around mobility and sovereignty to modern formulations of both race and human rights.

Abstract

In the European discourse of post 9/11 reality, concepts such as “Multiculturalism”, “Integration” and “European Islam” are becoming more and more topical. The empirically- based contributions in this volume aim to reflect the variety of current Muslim social practices and life-worlds in Germany. The volume goes beyond the fragmented methods of minority case studies and the monolithic view of Muslims as portrayed by mass media to present fresh theoretical approaches and in-depth analyses of a rich mosaic of communities, cultures and social practices. Issues of politics, religion, society, economics, media, art, literature, law and gender are addressed. The result is a vibrant state-of-the-art publication of studies of real-life communities and individuals. Contributors are Kilian Bälz, Kea Eilers, Friedmann Eissler, Konrad Hirschler, Jeanette S. Jouili, Melanie Kamp, Matthias Kulinna, Judith Pies, Claudia Preckel, Robert Pütz, Mathias Rohe, Sabine Schiffer, Verena Schreiber, Christoph Schumann†, Wolfgang G. Schwanitz, Clara Seitz, Faruk Şen, Viola Shafik, Yafa Shanneik, Martin Sökefeld, Margrete Søvik, Levent Tezcan, Jörn Thielmann, Nikola Tietze and Maria Wurm. This book is also available in paperback .

Abstract

Dit rapport stelt de belangrijkste bevindingen voor van een kwalitatief onderzoek over de Europese moslimvrouwen. Het doel van het rapport is een algemene indruk te geven van de mate waarin de islam als godsdienst een bepalende rol speelt in de ervaringen van de Europese moslimvrouwen en tevens de belangrijkste redenen voor hun bezorgdheid, voor hun manier van denken en voor hun reacties aan te halen. Dit onderzoek wil vooral de stem, het dagelijkse leven, de problemen en verzuchtingen van deze vrouwen naar voren brengen. Het werd uitgevoerd in Brussel, Londen en Turijn. Het onderzoek werkte met vragenlijsten en gestructureerde en ongestructureerde interviews met 49 moslimvrouwen.

Abstract

Paco wordt ontvoerd. En nog wel door zijn eigen ouders. Zo voelt het immers voor hem aan, want eigenlijk gaat hij gewoon verhuizen. Omdat het werkcontract van de ouders afgelopen is, verhuist het multiculturele gezin van Ecuador terug naar België. Voor Paco die al bijna zijn hele leven in Zuid-Amerika woont, is dat een bruuske en ongewenste overgang. Het boek volgt op een speelse, maar heel integere manier Paco's emotionele evolutie en maakt een thema als (e)migratie heel bespreekbaar. Al verwacht je bij de exotische sfeer in het boek misschien prenten in kleur, de prenten zijn in monodruk en dat is een interessante techniek om in de klas mee te werken.
