Book Description
This book provides the main findings of a ground-breaking survey on immigrants and the second generation in France. The data, collected from more than 20, 000 persons representative of the population living in France, offer invaluable insights into the trajectories and experience of ethnic minorities. The book explains how France has been an immigrant-receiving country for over a century and how it is now a multicultural society with an unprecedented level of origin diversity. While immigrants and their descendants are targets of clichés and stereotyping, this book provides unique quantitative findings on their situation in all areas of personal and working life. Is origin in itself a factor of inequality? With its detailed reconstitutions of educational, occupational and conjugal trajectories and its exploration of access to housing and health, this book provides multiple approaches to answering this question. One of the work’s major contributions is to combine objective and subjective measures of discrimination: this is the first study in France to focus on racism as experienced by those subjected to it, while opening up new methodological perspectives on the experience of prejudice by origin, religion, and skin colour.

Researching Race and Racism
Author: Martin Bulmer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134419546
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Race and racism have become huge areas of study in the social sciences over the past two decades. However, whilst this has been reflected in the growing body of theoretical and empirically based work, surprisingly little has been published that explores the methodological and practical issues involved in researching race. In Researching Race and Racism Martin Bulmer and John Solomos have brought together contributions from some of the leading researchers in the field, using the benefit of their experience to explore the practical and ethical issues involved in doing research in this sometimes controversial, often heavily politicised field. This book will provide students and researchers - both new to the field and experienced alike - with an invaluable tool to help them find their way.

Le travail social face au racisme
Author: Faïza Guélamine
Publisher: Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Santé Publique
ISBN: 9782859529093
Category : Discrimination raciale - France
Languages : fr
Pages : 117
Book Description
Le racisme alimente une rhétorique contraire à l'éthique de l'intervention sociale et éducative. Par déontologie et par conviction, les travailleurs sociaux s'opposent à toute discrimination. Ces deux professions de foi, pour légitimes qu'elles soient, ne sont pourtant pas d'un grand secours sur le terrain. Les travailleurs sociaux doivent pouvoir appréhender de façon approfondie le racisme et les phénomènes discriminatoires. Ils doivent disposer de stratégies pour aborder un problème qui ne va de soi ni pour les intervenants, ni pour l'ensemble des autres acteurs. Conçu à partir de connaissances produites sur ce sujet et sur l'expérience de l'auteure dans le domaine de la formation en travail social, ce livre vise en particulier à : repérer les conditions historiques, politiques et sociales favorisant les processus discriminatoires ; identifier les formes concrètes que prend le racisme dans la société française et les mesures destinées à les enrayer ; évaluer le poids et les enjeux des catégories ethnicisantes appliquées aux migrants ou à leurs descendants dans le champ de l'action sociale et observer les effets de ces constructions dans la formation des discriminations ; proposer aux travailleurs sociaux des analyses favorisant la compréhension de ces problèmes.

Sponsorship-- for Better Or for Worse
Author: Andrée Côté
Publisher: Status of Women
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Sponsorship is a procedure that allows people to immigrate to Canada in order to join their families without having to satisfy the usual selection criteria. This report examines the impact of sponsorship on immigrant women using documentary research and qualitative research based on life stories. Part 1 describes that methodology and presents a brief history of immigration & sponsorship policies in Canada. Part 2 presents & discusses life stories revealed in in-depth interviews with 16 Francophone immigrant women in Ontario who were sponsored by their husbands. The stories reveal the magnitude & complexity of the problems they face as immigrant women and how conjugal sponsorship contributes to their disadvantaged status. Part 3 reviews the rights of immigrant women under the current sponsorship regime and the impact of spousal sponsorship on those rights. The final part begins by discussing reforms made in other jurisdictions in order to find promising avenues for reform, then examines recent federal proposals in its January 1999 policy statement on new directions for immigration policy & legislation. Two policy reform options are then considered: improving the current sponsorship regime according to the needs of women sponsored by their husbands; and eliminating mandatory sponsorship in cases of family reunification between spouses. The appendix includes an interview guide.

Mapping Worlds
Author: Rob Kitchin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317996720
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Social and cultural geography is practised by geographers from around the world. However, for various reasons including language and publishing traditions, knowledge of the research being undertaken can often remain confined to those working within those countries. This book draws together, for the first time into one volume, reports of social and cultural geography undertaken in several countries from around the world. It provides an important overview of geographic ideas and traditions, and the history of human geography more generally, allowing comparison between countries and details of key studies and references. As such, the book will be of interest to geographers schooled in different national traditions, and those interested in the production and history of geographic knowledge. Entries are written in both English and the country’s own national language.

Le travail social face aux discriminations
Author: Manuel Boucher
Publisher: Aux Lieux d'être
ISBN:
Category : Anti-racism
Languages : fr
Pages : 344
Book Description
Dans les sociétés modernes postindustrielles, le défi pluriculturel est un enjeu de taille pour les travailleurs sociaux : comment conjuguer des interventions volontaristes pour d'un côté, maintenir le lien social en régulant les effets de la fragmentation et de l'insécurité sociales ? D'un autre côté, dans un contexte marqué par le développement de l'hyper-individualisme et de revendications particularistes, comment mettre en place des modes d'action sociale laissant une place à la reconnaissance culturelle, sans pour autant aboutir à la production d'une société de séparation dépolitisée et ethnicisée ? Une comparaison à l'échelle européenne, menée par des spécialistes reconnus, permet d'apporter des réponses claires à ces questions.

Immigration and National Identity
Author: Rabah Aissaoui
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857713469
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Immigration is at the heart of social, cultural and political debate in France, a country still struggling to come to terms with its postcolonial legacy. Here Assaoui provides a radical re-examination of the assumptions about immigrants and ethnic and national identity through a study of the Maghrebis, especially their political mobilisation from the colonial to the postcolonial period. Combining insights from the archive and interviews with political activists, he examines the diaspora's voice and their struggle against racism and oppression.Through a study of key political movements, he shows how they constructed a powerful and consistent political tradition and charts the development, in France, of the Algerian anti-colonial and nationalist movement, as well as new forms of political activism during the 1970s. "Immigration and National Identity" foregrounds the migrants' perspective and the necessary historical background to the fraught contemporary context of immigrant communities in France. It will be valuable for all those concerned with immigration, colonialism and postcolonialism, cultural studies, sociology and the study of contemporary France.
