This volume collects a series of writings by Renzo Rastrelli (1948-2008), a long-time professor of Political and diplomatic history of East Asia at the Faculty of Political Sciences "Cesare Alfieri" of the University of Florence. This textual anthology highlights some of the main aspects of the author's scientific work: the analysis on Chinese immigration to Italy, going beyond common stereotypes; the internal dynamics regarding the associative modalities and the forms of dialogue which the Chinese communities have with Italian society; finally, the broader social context which Chinese immigrants find themselves in, drawing attention to the interlacement of restrictive immigration regulations and the facilitation of illegal practices, involving both Chinese and Italian citizens.

"Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, commonly known as the Nordic countries, have been leaders in the development of modern family and gender policy, and the explicit promotion of gender equality at home, at work, and in public life. Today, on many measures, they boast some of the most gender-equal labour markets in the OECD. This report shows that improvements in gender equality have contributed considerably to economic growth in the Nordic countries. Increases in female employment alone are estimated to account for anywhere between roughly 0.05 and 0.40 percentage points to average annual GDP per capita growth - equivalent to 3 to 20% of total GDP per capita growth over the past 50 years or so, depending on the country. The Nordic countries are closer than most to achieving gender equality in the labour market. But the last mile may well prove to be the longest one. To make further progress, a continued assessment of the effectiveness of existing public policies and workplace practices is needed. Only with resolve and a continued focus can Nordic countries ensure that men and women contribute to their economies and societies in gender equal measure."--Back cover.

Dans ce récit intime qui s’étend des années 1930 à nos jours, Audrey Célestine retrace sur trois générations la vie des membres de la famille de Laura et Clara, ses filles. L’histoire se déplace des Antilles aux rives de la Méditerranée en passant par le Nord de la France. C’est ainsi que la petite histoire s’inscrit dans la grande, et que les parcours exemplaires de ces personnages témoignent d’un contexte historique, politique et sociologique. En découvrant les vies de Minerva, dont les parents fuient l’Espagne franquiste pour l’Algérie en 1939, de Marcel, navigateur né à Marie-Galante qui rencontre Ginette à Dunkerque, ou encore de Pierrot né à Fort-de-France avant de rejoindre l’hexagone, on saisit comment la colonisation, l’empire, les guerres, la décolonisation et le maintien de dominations ont modelé la vie, les amitiés, les amours et les trajectoires d’une famille française sur près d’un siècle. En plus de nous embarquer dans ce dédale de routes passionnant, le récit d’Audrey Célestine invite à la réflexion sur les thèmes ô combien d’actualité de l’identité et de l’expérience de la racialisation
