"Das Buch widmet sich der Religiosität einer bislang kaum erforschten Migrantengruppe. Es zeigt anhand in der Schweiz und in Deutschland lebender junger Erwachsener mit vietnamesischen Wurzeln, wie sich intergenerationale Veränderungen von Religiosität in der Diaspora vollziehen. Anhand biografisch-narrativer Interviews gibt die Publikation einen Einblick in Prozesse der Identitätsbildung, in Handlungsstrategien der jungen Erwachsenen und in veränderte Formen von Religiosität. Die Autorin verwendet für ihre Untersuchung Methoden der qualitativen Sozialforschung, der sozialen Netzwerkanalyse sowie der Ethnografie"-- Provided by publisher.

The World Bank Group's Identification for Development (ID4D) Initiative prepared a Primer on Biometrics for ID Systems (Primer) as a reference document for practitioners, civil society organizations, development partners and other stakeholders on the responsible use of biometric recognition in official or government-recognized identification (ID) systems, such as national IDs, civil registration, population registers, and others. Over the past 30 years, countries have increasingly incorporated digital biometric recognition into these ID systems, either as part of identity proofing (de-duplication) and/or to provide verification and authentication to service providers. However, given the specialized and often proprietary nature of most biometric technology, the stakeholders mentioned above have not always had access to information they need to effectively consider the appropriate and responsible use of this technology. The Primer reflects experiences in a range of countries from different regions, with different legal systems, and at different stages of economic development. It also takes into account existing literature, international conventions, and norms and principles. It is based on evolving international good practice, as understood by ID4D.

"Perhaps the most disturbing feature of globalization is the emergence of a new tribalism, an attitude expressed in the common phrase, "thank God we're not like them". Religious Othering: Global Dimensions explores this political and religious phenomenon. Why are these new xenophobic movements erupting around the world at this moment in history, and what are the features of religious identity that seem to appeal to them? How do we make sense of the strident forms of religious exclusion that have been a part of the past and re-emerged around the world in recent years? This book brings together research scholars from different fields who have had to answer these questions in their own ground-breaking research on religious-othering movements. Written in an engaging, personal style, these essays share these scholars' attempts to get inside the worldviews of these neo-nationalists through such research approaches as participant observation, empathetic interviews, and close textual reading. Religious Othering: Global Dimensions is of interest for students and scholars in religious studies and the social sciences. In addition, those anyone concerned about the rise of religious extremism in the contemporary world will be fascinated with these journeys into the mindsets of dogmatic and sometimes violent religious groups"--

Finnish Lapland is a historical borderland of Finnish and Sámi cultures. Such a region offers various social-political identifications for people to choose: people may see it possible to identify as Finnish, Laplanders, Lappish or Sámi, for instance. However, the choices have social and political limits, and some identifications are more contested than others. The book examines the processes of identifications in the middle parts of Lapland, just south of the region defined as Sámi homeland in Finland. While the study reveals differences and nuances in people's thinking, it also shows that there is a recognizable sense of shared cultural specifity around the region. Lapland is conceptualized as an extraordinary place with unusual nature and history, characterized by particular livelihoods (such as reindeer herding) and lively cultural interaction. The book concludes that while Lapland is extraordinary as a historical dwelling region of indigenous Sámi, it may be politically significant to recognize it as a unique borderland of cultures with features of its own.
