Most discussions of multiculturalism and group rights focus on the relationship between the minority and the majority. This volume advances our understanding of minority rights by focusing on ...conflicts that arise within minority groups and by examining the different sorts of responses that the liberal state might have to these conflicts. Groups around the world are increasingly successful in maintaining or winning autonomy. In light of this trend, a crucial question emerges: what happens to individuals within groups who find that their group discriminates against them? This volume brings together distinguished scholars who examine this question by weaving together normative political theory with case studies drawn from South Africa, the United States, India, Canada, and Britain. Classical liberalism, deliberative democracy, feminism, and associative democracy are among the theoretical frameworks used to offer solutions to the complex set of issues raised by minorities within minorities.
Construit en 1974, le baptistère de Lydie commémore un événement fondateur de l’histoire du christianisme : c’est là, dans la rivière de Philippes, que Paul aurait baptisé Lydie, entre 49 et 50 de ...notre ère. L’article examine comment ce baptême emblématique (censé être le premier sur le continent européen) a d’abord été commémoré au dix-neuvième siècle par Lampakis, un érudit grec : celui-ci a transformé l’eau de Philippes en objet muséographique exposé dans un musée athénien. Avec l’érection d’une église, ce qui était jusque-là délocalisable est monumentalisé et ancré au sol ; grâce à la mobilité internationale que ce baptistère suscite, même le territoire est requalifié. Ce cas permet ainsi de mieux appréhender les interactions entre les quatre paramètres principaux du tourisme religieux : le site religieux, les personnes, les objets et les événements.

Tiger Mom. Asian patriarchy. Model minority children. Generation gap. The many images used to describe the prototypical Asian family have given rise to two versions of the Asian immigrant family ...myth. The first celebrates Asian families for upholding the traditional heteronormative ideal of the "normal (white) American family" based on a hard-working male breadwinner and a devoted wife and mother who raises obedient children. The other demonizes Asian families around these very same cultural values by highlighting the dangers of excessive parenting, oppressive hierarchies, and emotionless pragmatism in Asian cultures.
Saving Facecuts through these myths, offering a more nuanced portrait of Asian immigrant families in a changing world as recalled by the people who lived them first-hand: the grown children of Chinese and Korean immigrants. Drawing on extensive interviews, sociologist Angie Y. Chung examines how these second-generation children negotiate the complex and conflicted feelings they have toward their family responsibilities and upbringing. Although they know little about their parents' lives, she reveals how Korean and Chinese Americans assemble fragments of their childhood memories, kinship narratives, and racial myths to make sense of their family experiences. However, Chung also finds that these adaptive strategies come at a considerable social and psychological cost and do less to reconcile the social stresses that minority immigrant families endure today.
Saving Facenot only gives readers a new appreciation for the often painful generation gap between immigrants and their children, it also reveals the love, empathy, and communication strategies families use to help bridge those rifts.

Cet article trace l'histoire plutôt difficile des diverses étapes de l'activité théâtrale francophone à Calgary. L'auteure insiste surtout sur les obstacles créés par l'absence centenaire dans cette ...ville d'un quartier francophone, et donc d'une collectivité cohérente. Abstract Theatre in French has existed in Calgary for more than a century. However, this existence has been difficult. Before and around the turn of the twentieth century, theatrical activities formed an integral part of community events, at the heart of which was the French language, a shared religious faith and a sense of belonging felt by the those living in Rouleauville, a village situated near the forks of the Bow and Elbow rivers. It was the arrival in this place of thousands of English-speaking immigrants, thanks to the newly constructed railroad, which brought about the dispersal of the inhabitants of the village and resulted in its disappearance as Rouleauville. Subsequent to the arrival of these waves of immigrants, the village was rebaptised as part of Calgary. The name of the church was anglicised; the streets all lost the names of its francophone founders and were replaced by numbers. The consequence of this dispersal still exists today insofar as there exists in Calgary neither a francophone quarter nor a neighborhood identifiable as coherently francophone. Although there are thousands of Francophones in Calgary today and schools at all levels, this geographical scattering and this absence of shared demographics (made worse by the diverse origins and employment of these French-speaking people) stand in the way of the development of a large and loyal theatre public. Initiatives throughout the twentieth century to do theatre in French in Calgary have invariably been faced with the harsh reality of a scattered and unengaged public. There has never been a francophone professional company in this city. In the twenty-first century, the support of Canadian and Alberta francophone organisations bring hope for the survival of the theatre cooperative, le Théâtre à pic, which has been active for a decade. This company has permanent access for the first time in Calgary to a suitable theatre space: la Cité des Rocheuses.

Islamophobia often refers to systemic racism against Muslims and the lived experiences of discrimination against people who are perceived as Muslim. These forms of racism and discrimination have ...intensified in the last couple of decades, especially since the War on Terror. This introduction argues that Islamophobia is a spatialized process that occurs at different scales in Muslim-minority countries: globe, nation, urban, neighbourhood, body and emotion. First, we outline a genealogy of the term, Islamophobia. Second, we demonstrate the ways in which Islamophobia occurs at different scales and is connected between scales. Finally, we introduce the papers in the special issue to highlight our argument that Islamophobia is multi-scalar. We also show how the methodological contributions of the research within geographies of Islamophobia can impact policy-making and political organizing against Islamophobia.
After Race Darder, Antonia; Torres, Rodolfo D

After Race pushes us beyond the old "race vs. class" debates to delve deeper into the structural conditions that spawn racism. Darder and Torres place the study of racism forthrightly within the ...context of contemporary capitalism. While agreeing with those who have argued that the concept of "race" does not have biological validity, they go further to insist that the concept also holds little political, symbolic, or descriptive value when employed in social science and policy research.Darder and Torres argue for the need to jettison the concept of "race," while calling adamantly for the critical study of racism. They maintain that an understanding of structural class inequality is fundamentally germane to comprehending the growing significance of racism in capitalist America.
Cet article s’intéresse à la réécriture du roman d'Alexandre Dumas, Les Trois mousquetaires, effectuée par Agnès Maupré à travers la bande dessinée Milady de Winter. D'Artagnan et les trois ...mousquetaires (Athos, Porthos et Aramis) sont déchus de leurs rôles de protagonistes et remplacés par Milady de Winter. Cette inversion des rôles permet à Agnès Maupré d'insister sur les violences subites par Milady, présentes, mais en second plan, dans le roman d'Alexandre Dumas. Au fil des deux tomes de Milady de Winter, l'auteure déconstruit la figure de "femme fatale" qu'est devenue Milady dans l'imaginaire contemporain, et fait d'elle le sujet de son œuvre. Abstract: This article investigates the rewriting of Alexandre Dumas’ Les Trois mousquetaires by Agnès Mauprés in the comic-book Milady de Winter. D’Artagnan and the three musketeers (Athod, Porthos and Aramis) are no longer the main protagonists. They are replaced by Mylady. Agnès Maupré uses this reversal to emphasize violence against Milady. This violence already existed in the original novel yet wasn’t a central theme. Throughout her two volumes, Agnès Maupré has deconstructed the pictures of “femme fatale” nowadays associated with Milady’s name and has chosen Milady to be the subject of this rewriting.
