Download or read book Die Kinder der Immigration written by Ernstpeter Ruhe and published by Königshausen & Neumann. This book was released on 1999 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Kinder der maghrebinischen Immigranten schaffen nicht nur Unruhe in den Vorstädten Frankreichs, sondern auch in der Kultur des Landes. Ihre Literatur und ihre Filme erzählen von den Schwierigkeiten des Lebens zwischen zwei Welten, vom täglichen Rassismus und der ständig drohenden Marginalisierung. Ihre künstlerischen Darstellungsmittel lassen keinen Zweifel an ihrem Selbstanspruch, der - wenn auch zögerlich - zunehmend Anerkennung im etablierten Kulturbetrieb findet, in dem man zunächst nur an eine kurzfristige Mode glauben wollte. Der Band 4 der Reihe Studien zur Literatur und Geschichte des Maghreb widmet sich dem Thema der Multiperspektivik, die dem interkulturellen Gegenstand angemessen ist; sie schließt die vergleichende Analyse mit der Literatur ein, mit der sich die Kinder türkischer Immigranten ihren Platz auf der literarischen Bühne Deutschlands erkämpft haben. Neue Texte der wichtigsten frankophonen Autoren (Azouz Begag, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Ahmed Kalouaz, Leila Sebbar) rahmen die Untersuchungen ein. Der Herausgeber Ernstpeter Ruhe ist o. Professor für Romanische Philologie an der Universität Würzburg; einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte ist die frankophone Literatur speziell zu Nordafrika. Aus den Studien zur Literatur und Geschichte des Maghreb erschien bereits Bd. 1 ("Europas islamische Nachbarn") 1993; Bd. 2 ("Europas islamische Nachbarn") 1996; Bd. 3 ("Literarische Begegnungen und Konfrontationen zwischen den Ländern des Maghreb, Frankreichs und Okzitaniens") 1998.
Download or read book Educating Immigrants written by Joti Bhatnagar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981. Immigrant children often have significant ethnic, linguistic and cultural differences from children of the host country and require special teaching arrangements. This book is a country-by-country survey of this problem. Each chapter begins by examining the general background to the problem, outlining the nature and extent of immigration in the country in question, and portraying the relationships between immigrant groups and the indigenous population. Each chapter then considers how children’s academic performance, social relations, self-esteem and academic and vocational expectations are affected by their immigrant status, and concludes by describing and analysing the special educational programmes adopted to help immigrant children.
Download or read book Handbook of Home Language Maintenance and Development written by Andrea C. Schalley and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even a cursory look at conference programs and proceedings reveals a burgeoning interest in the field of social and affective factors in home language maintenance and development. To date, however, research on this topic has been published in piecemeal fashion, subsumed under the more general umbrella of ‘bilingualism’. Within bilingualism research, there has been an extensive exploration of linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives on the one hand, and educational practices and outcomes on the other. In comparison, social and affective factors – which lead people to either maintain or shift the language – have been under-researched. This is the first volume that brings together the different strands in research on social and affective factors in home language maintenance and development, ranging from the micro-level (family language policies and practices), to the meso-level (community initiatives) and the macro-level (mainstream educational policies and their implementation). The volume showcases a wide distribution across contexts and populations explored. Contributors from around the world represent different research paradigms and perspectives, providing a rounded overview of the state-of-the-art in this flourishing field.
Download or read book The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Children s Issues Worldwide 6 volumes written by Irving Epstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-12-30 with total page 3026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the skyrocketing AIDS rate in Haiti to the oppressive pollution in industrial China, from the violent street culture of Nigeria to the crippling poverty in Nicaragua, from child trafficking in Thailand to child marriages in India, this jam-packed six-volume set explores all these issues and more in an unprecedented look at the world's children at the dawn of the 21st century. In recent years, while many countries have enjoyed a higher standard of living and improved working conditions, others have been torn apart by war and incapacitated by famine, and are struggling to improve life for their children and their future. Recent concern over the world's children has resulted in a global attempt to define what constitutes an acceptable childhood. New attention has been paid, not only to healthcare and secondary education, but also to the right to play and increased access to technology. The UN's codification of children's rights has done much to expand our understanding of what is needed for healthy growth and development of children and youth. Organized by region, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Children's Issues Worldwide is the first globally focused set of this magnitude, offering extensive, up-to-date coverage of these critical issues. Original chapters accessibly synthesize current data on key topics, including education, play and recreation, child labor, family, health, laws and legal status, religious life, abuse and neglect, and growing up in the 21st century.

Download or read book The Poor Child written by Lucy Hopkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are development discourses of the ‘poor child’ in need of radical revision? What are the theoretical and methodological challenges and possibilities for ethical understandings of childhoods and poverty? The ‘poor child’ at the centre of development activity is often measured against and reformed towards an idealised and globalised child subject. This book examines why such normative discourses of childhood are in need of radical revision and explores how development research and practice can work to ‘unsettle’ the global child. It engages the cultural politics of childhood – a politics of equality, identity and representation – as a methodological and theoretical orientation to rethink the relationships between education, development, and poverty in children’s lives. This book brings multiple disciplinary perspectives, including cultural studies, sociology, and film studies, into conversation with development studies and development education in order to provide new ways of approaching and conceptualising the ‘poor child’. The researchers draw on a range of methodological frames – such as poststructuralist discourse analysis, arts based research, ethnographic studies and textual analysis – to unpack the hidden assumptions about children within development discourses. Chapters in this book reveal the diverse ways in which the notion of childhood is understood and enacted in a range of national settings, including Kenya, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom. They explore the complex constitution of children’s lives through cultural, policy, and educational practices. The volume’s focus on children’s experiences and voices shows how children themselves are challenging the representation and material conditions of their lives. The ‘Poor Child’ will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and scholars working in the fields of childhood studies, international and comparative education, and development studies.
Download or read book L exploitation mini re en Afrique written by Punam Chuhan-Pole and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le boom des ressources naturelles en Afrique a tiré la croissance dans toute la région, sans contribuer de manière substantielle à améliorer le bien-être et les moyens de subsistance des citoyens. Les personnes vivant dans les pays africains richement dotés en ressources naturelles sont moins alphabétisées de 3 %, ont une espérance de vie plus faible de 4,5 ans et affichent des taux de malnutrition plus élevés chez les femmes et les enfants que dans les pays de la région n’ayant pas de ressources naturelles. Cette lenteur dans la réduction de la pauvreté est souvent attribuée à la croissance économique tirée par les ressources naturelles †“ la dénommée malédiction des ressources naturelles. Au-delà de l’impact global, les communautés vivant à proximité des centres miniers souffrent-elles également d’une malédiction des ressources naturelles ? L’exploitation minière en Afrique †“ Les communautés locales en tirent-elles parti ? examine comment l’exploitation aurifère à grande échelle dans trois pays †“ le Ghana, le Mali et la Tanzanie †“ affecte les moyens de subsistance et les communautés locales. L’analyse et les résultats des auteurs concluent qu’en moyenne, les communautés minières bénéficient d’avantages sociaux positifs bien que limités. L’étude définit trois grands canaux †“ marché, fiscal et environnemental †“ pouvant affecter les localités. Les auteurs appliquent ce cadre d’analyse à l’exploitation aurifère à grande échelle dans les trois pays de l’étude et ils utilisent des méthodes économétriques solides pour évaluer ces effets au niveau local. Si le défi de l’extraction des ressources naturelles est traité dans toutes ses dimensions, des pistes pour une prospérité partagée et une meilleure égalité peuvent être ouvertes, créant ainsi une vie meilleure pour les familles et améliorant les perspectives des pays dans lesquels elles vivent. Ce livre a pour objectif d’éclairer les politiques publiques et le comportement des entreprises concernant le bien-être des communautés situées à proximité des sites d’extraction et les opportunités que l’activité minière peut leur offrir.

Download or read book Le statut juridique des migrants admis des fins d emploi written by Ryszard Cholewinski and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les tendances récentes indiquent que les pays européens accueillent davantage d'ouvriers étrangers afin de combler les pénuries de main-d'œuvre provoquées par le vieillissement de la population ou par la mondialisation. Par ailleurs, un nouvel environnement se dessine dans le monde du travail, avec l'arrivée de nouvelles technologies, de normes de travail différentes, l'augmentation des activités économiques indépendantes, et une plus grande flexibilité en matière de temps de travail et de pratiques sur le lieu de travail. Pour cette raison, certains pays européens ont adopté de nouvelles lois et de nouvelles politiques pour attirer les ouvriers étrangers hautement ou moyennement qualifiés. Cependant, les nouvelles mesures peuvent mettre en danger certains acquis dans ce domaine et peuvent ne pas être en accord avec les normes du Conseil de l'Europe visant à garantir les droits des travailleurs migrants, tels que la Charte sociale européenne et la Convention européenne relative au statut juridique du travailleur migrant. Cette étude se concentre sur les règles concernant le statut juridique des principales catégories de travailleurs migrants admis aux fins d'un emploi dans certains Etats membres du Conseil de l'Europe. L'étude examine la question essentielle de savoir si ces règles nationales sont conçues de manière à aider les migrants à s'intégrer dans le pays d'accueil, en leur garantissant un statut de résidence stable et l'accès aux droits sociaux, ou si elles découragent ou même empêchent une telle intégration.

Book excerpt: International migration is often considered a relatively new development in world history. Yet, while there has been a surge in migration since World War II, the worldwide movement of peoples is a longstanding phenomenon. So, too, are the fundamental issues raised by immigration. How do immigrants fit into and affect the polity and society of the country they enter? What changes can or must the receiving state make to accomodate them? What changes in culture and ethnic indentity do immigrants undergo in their new environment? How do they relate to the mix of peoples already present in their new homeland What determines the policies that govern their reception and treatment? In this volume, expertly edited by a leading American political scientist-lawyer and a leading French historian, twenty-one renowned experts on immigration address these questions and a variety of other issues involving the experiences of immigrants in the city, at the workplace, and in schools and churches. Their essays examine the issues of nationality, citizenship, law, and politics that define the life of an immigrant population. Focusing on the United States and France, this voluem is a social history and a legal and public policy study that comprehensively portrays the dilemmas immigrants present and face.

Download or read book Youth in Education written by Christiane Timmerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth in Education explores the multiple, interrelated social contexts that young people inhabit and navigate, and how educational institutions cope with increasing ethnic, cultural and ideological diversity. Schools, families and communities represent important settings in which young people must make successful transitions to adulthood, and the classroom often becomes a battleground in which these contexts and values interact. With contributions from the UK, Belgium, Germany and Canada, the chapters in this book explore rich examples from Europe and North America to suggest strategies that can help to counter negative perceptions, processes of stigmatization and disengagement, instead prioritising peer support and cooperative learning to give pupils a renewed sense of worth. This book takes the growing ethno-cultural diversity in education systems to heart and studies the various related educational processes from a multidisciplinary and multi-method approach. It aims to offer more insight into underlying mechanisms that are often implicit, but can be important factors that positively or negatively influence educational trajectories and outcomes. It is essential reading for researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of education, sociology, higher education, policy and politics, and social and cultural geography.
