This book was released on 2013-05-28T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage collectif est le premier consacré au défi que pose au Québec, mais aussi à d'autres sociétés, la demande autochtone de reconnaissance de l'adoption coutumière. Phénomène largement inconnu de la société majoritaire, le transfert d'enfant selon la coutume autochtone est néanmoins resté à ce jour une réalité bien vivante dans plusieurs communautés. Le système juridique québecois n'a pas à ce jour validé le régime autochtone d'adoption, La question de sa reconnaissance fait toutefois dorénavant l'objet d'un dialogue constructif entre les autochtones, l'Etat et la société civile. Cet ouvrage vise à éclairer les enjeux juridiques, mais aussi sociaux et culturels, de ce dialogue alors que la perspective d'une reconnaissance de l'adoption coutumière se dessine plus clairement que jamais. Des experts universitaires, juristes et anthropologues, ainsi que des avocates de terrain travaillant au sein des communautés autochtones ou pour la protection des droits et libertés de la personne, expliquent au lecteur en quoi consiste l'adoption coutumière autochtone, la manière dont elle se démarque du modèle dominant, les justifications de sa reconnaissance et les problèmes soulevés par celle-ci. Certains modèles existants de reconnaissance sont aussi présentés pour faciliter la comparaison. Universitaires, professionnels et praticiens dans le domaine juridique, administratif et social trouveront dans cette collection d'études les clefs d'une meilleure compréhension d'un important dossier susceptible de conduire le Québec sur le chemin d'un pluralisme juridique mieux assumé.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Deaf in America written by Carol A. Padden and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1990-09-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by authors who are themselves Deaf, this unique book illuminates the life and culture of Deaf people from the inside, through their everyday talk, their shared myths, their art and performances, and the lessons they teach one another. Carol Padden and Tom Humphries employ the capitalized "Deaf" to refer to deaf people who share a natural language—American Sign Language (ASL—and a complex culture, historically created and actively transmitted across generations. Signed languages have traditionally been considered to be simply sets of gestures rather than natural languages. This mistaken belief, fostered by hearing people’s cultural views, has had tragic consequences for the education of deaf children; generations of children have attended schools in which they were forbidden to use a signed language. For Deaf people, as Padden and Humphries make clear, their signed language is life-giving, and is at the center of a rich cultural heritage. The tension between Deaf people’s views of themselves and the way the hearing world views them finds its way into their stories, which include tales about their origins and the characteristics they consider necessary for their existence and survival. Deaf in America includes folktales, accounts of old home movies, jokes, reminiscences, and translations of signed poems and modern signed performances. The authors introduce new material that has never before been published and also offer translations that capture as closely as possible the richness of the original material in ASL. Deaf in America will be of great interest to those interested in culture and language as well as to Deaf people and those who work with deaf children and Deaf people.

Download or read book Sign and Culture written by William C. Stokoe and published by Linstok Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1980 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a selection of papers that have appeared in the journal "Sign Language Studies" between 1972 and 1979. The aim is to provide the reader with some knowledge of the world as signers see it. The book is for academic decision-makers, teachers and parents of deaf students, as well as the intellectually curious. Following an introductory essay, the chapters are arranged in four sections: (1) The first section addresses the broad question "What is Sign Language?" with articles about the language merging situation involving manually encoded English and American Sign Language, as well as other aspects of sign language, including humor and foreign sign languages. (2) The second section on "Learning and Using Sign Language" gets deeply into a psycholinguistic vein, and presents findings on sign language acquisition and learning. (3) The third section, "(Sign) Language and Culture," relates sign language use and particular attitudes and policies to the deaf community. (4) The fourth chapter reinforces the idea that language is not all biological nor all socio-cultural, and applies this idea to sign language acquisition. (Author/PJM)

Book excerpt: The continent of Africa is rich in minerals needed by Western economies, but rather than forming the basis for economic growth the mining industry contributes very little to African development Investigating the impact of the 2003 Extractive Industries Review on a number of African countries, the contributors find the root of the problem in the controls imposed on the African countries by the IMF and World Bank.
