Indigenous media challenges the power of the state, erodes communication monopolies, and illuminates government threats to indigenous cultural, social, economic, and political sovereignty. Its effectiveness in these areas, however, is hampered by government control of broadcast frequencies, licensing, and legal limitations over content and ownership.Indigenous Screen Cultures in Canada explores key questions surrounding the power and suppression of indigenous narrative and representation in contemporary indigenous media. Focussing primarily on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, the authors also examine indigenous language broadcasting in radio, television, and film; Aboriginal journalism practices; audience creation within and beyond indigenous communities; the roles of program scheduling and content acquisition policies in the decolonization process; the roles of digital video technologies and co-production agreements in indigenous filmmaking; and the emergence of Aboriginal cyber-communities.

Over de psychische, sociale en relationele gevolgen van meisjesbesnijdenis is nog weinig bekend. Onderzoekers van Pharos, Centrum45 en Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen hebben in samenwerking met FSAN (Federatie Somalische Associaties Nederland) de ervaringen van vrouwen in Nederland die een besnijdenis ondergingen in kaart gebracht. Interviewers uit de eigen gemeenschap spraken met in totaal zesenzestig vrouwen uit Somalië, Eritrea, Ethiopië, Soedan en Sierra Leone over de gevolgen van hun besnijdenis. In Versluierde pijn komen de vrouwen zelf aan bod; ze vertellen over hun boosheid en angst, over gevoelens van uitsluiting, verdriet en schaamte alsook over de manier waarop zij met hun pijn, problemen en klachten omgaan in Nederland en hun ervaringen met hulpverlening. Daarnaast is met behulp van gestandaardiseerde vragenlijsten vastgesteld dat bij eenderde van de vrouwen sprake is van angst of depressie terwijl een zesde traumagerelateerde klachten zegt te hebben. Migratie naar Nederland maakt dat hun besnijdenis met heel andere ogen bekeken wordt, door de omgeving maar ook door de vrouwen en meisjes zelf. Wat vroeger vanzelfsprekend was is nu deviant en roept heftige reacties op in onze samenleving. Dat heeft zijn weerslag op de beleving van de gevolgen van besnijdenis. Door media-aandacht en voorlichting over meisjesbesnijdenis in Nederland is het oorspronkelijke zwijgen over wat de besnijdenis teweegbrengt enigszins doorbroken. Wat niet betekent dat er gemakkelijk over gepraat werd. In vaak versluierde termen vertellen de vrouwen in dit onderzoek over het effect van de besnijdenis op hun beleving van seksualiteit, en over de invloed die het heeft op de relatie met hun partner, het gezinsleven en het contact met anderen. Voorts staan we stil bij hun ervaringen met de hulpverlening in Nederland. Tot slot worden vier copingprofielen gepresenteerd. (Bron: covertekst)

Contemporary debates give the impression that the presence of immigrants necessarily spells strife. Yet as Immigration and Conflict in Europe shows, the incidence of conflict involving immigrants and their descendants has varied widely across groups, cities, and countries. The book presents a theory to account for this uneven pattern, explaining why we observe clashes between immigrants and natives in some locations but not in others and why some cities experience confrontations between immigrants and state actors while others are spared from such conflicts. The book addresses how economic conditions interact with electoral incentives to account for immigrant-native and immigrant-state conflict across groups and cities within Great Britain as well as across Germany and France. It highlights the importance of national immigration regimes and local political economies in shaping immigrants' economic position and political behavior, demonstrating how economic and electoral forces, rather than cultural differences, determine patterns of conflict and calm.

Hausa society in West Africa has attracted researchers’ attention for decades, and has featured in the historical record for at least 500 years. Yet, no clear picture is available of the historical trajectories that underpin Hausa ethnogenesis. This book addresses this gap, deploying interdisciplinary approaches to revisit questions to which single disciplines have given partial answers, often due to the paucity of written sources for early periods of Hausa history. Contributors draw from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, economic history, and archaeology to enquire into how a ‘Hausa’ identity took shape and what have been its changing material and cultural manifestations. The result is a compelling overview of one of the most iconic groups of modern West Africa.(Provided by publisher)
