Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book Alternative Food Networks written by David Goodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers’ markets, veggie boxes, local foods, organic products and Fair Trade goods – how have these once novel, "alternative" foods, and the people and networks supporting them, become increasingly familiar features of everyday consumption? Are the visions of "alternative worlds" built on ethics of sustainability, social justice, animal welfare and the aesthetic values of local food cultures and traditional crafts still credible now that these foods crowd supermarket shelves and other "mainstream" shopping outlets? This timely book provides a critical review of the growth of alternative food networks and their struggle to defend their ethical and aesthetic values against the standardizing pressures of the corporate mainstream with its "placeless and nameless" global supply networks. It explores how these alternative movements are "making a difference" and their possible role as fears of global climate change and food insecurity intensify. It assesses the different experiences of these networks in three major arenas of food activism and politics: Britain and Western Europe, the United States, and the global Fair Trade economy. This comparative perspective runs throughout the book to fully explore the progressive erosion of the interface between alternative and mainstream food provisioning. As the era of "cheap food" draws to a close, analysis of the limitations of market-based social change and the future of alternative food economies and localist food politics place this book at the cutting-edge of the field. The book is thoroughly informed by contemporary social theory and interdisciplinary social scientific scholarship, formulates an integrative social practice framework to understand alternative food production-consumption, and offers a unique geographical reach in its case studies.

Download or read book Environmental Justice written by Brendan Coolsaet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive and accessible overview of environmental justice, one of the most dynamic fields in environmental politics scholarship. The rapidly growing body of research in this area has brought about a proliferation of approaches; as such, the breadth and depth of the field can sometimes be a barrier for aspiring environmental justice students and scholars. This book therefore is unique for its accessible style and innovative approach to exploring environmental justice. Written by leading international experts from a variety of professional, geographic, ethnic, and disciplinary backgrounds, its chapters combine authoritative commentary with real-life cases. Organised into four parts—approaches, issues, actors and future directions—the chapters help the reader to understand the foundations of the field, including the principal concepts, debates, and historical milestones. This volume also features sections with learning outcomes, follow-up questions, references for further reading and vivid photographs to make it a useful teaching and learning tool. Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the ideal toolkit for junior researchers, graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, and anyone in need of a comprehensive introductory textbook on environmental justice.

Download or read book Housing and Politics in Urban India written by Swetha Rao Dhananka and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing adequate housing in an increasingly urbanised world is a major challenge of current times. This book puts together a compelling story based on fine-grained analysis of housing processes, as lived by slum-dwellers and their voice-bearers. It situates the lived experience of claiming adequate housing within informal transactions and negotiations of patronage networks vis-à-vis the formal institutional opportunities and closures of Indian democracy. In doing so, this research extends an innovative array of conceptual and methodological tools to grasp the context in which housing claims succeed and fail. This book contributes by responding to critical areas of social movement scholarship and by displaying community engagements and tactical strategies to bring about transformative change to claim adequate housing and resist co-opting forces for socially sustainable housing futures.

Download or read book Progress written by Peter Wagner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of progress guided human expectations and actions for over two centuries. From the Enlightenment onwards, it was widely believed that the condition of humankind could be radically improved. History had embarked on an unstoppable forward trajectory, realizing the promise of freedom and reason. The scientific revolution, the industrial revolution, and the French Revolution, in some views also the socialist revolution, were milestones on this march of progress. But since the late twentieth century the idea of progress has largely disappeared from public debate. Sometimes it has been explicitly declared dead. The wide horizon of future possibilities has closed. The best we can hope for, some say, is to avoid regress. What happened to progress? Why did we stop believing in it, if indeed we did? This book offers answers to these questions. It reviews both the conceptual history of progress and the social and political experiences with progress over the past two centuries, and it comes to a surprising conclusion: The idea of progress was misconceived from its beginnings, and the failure of progress in practice was a result of this flawed conception. The experiences of the past half century, in turn, has allowed us to rethink progress in a more adequate way. Rather than the end of progress, they may herald the beginning of a new, reconstructed idea of progress.

Download or read book Power and Care written by Tania Singer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading thinkers from a range of disciplines discuss the compatibility of power and care, in conversation with the Dalai Lama. For more than thirty years, the Dalai Lama has been in dialogue with thinkers from a range of disciplines, helping to support pathways for knowledge to increase human wellbeing and compassion. These conversations, which began as private meetings, are now part of the Mind & Life Institute and Mind & Life Europe. This book documents a recent Mind & Life Institute dialogue with the Dalai Lama and others on two fundamental forces: power and care—power over and care for others in human societies. The notion of power is essentially neutral; power can be used to benefit others or to harm them, to build or to destroy. Care, on the other hand, is not a neutral force; it aims at increasing the wellbeing of others. Power and care are not incompatible: power, imbued with care, can achieve more than a powerless motivation to care; power, without the intention to benefit others, can be ruthless. The contributors—who include such celebrated figures as Frans B. M. de Waal, Olafur Eliasson, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, and Jody Williams—discuss topics including the interaction of power and care among our closest relatives, the chimpanzees; the effect of meditation and mental training practices on the brain; the role of religion in promoting peace and compassion; and the new field of Caring Economics. Contributors Paul Collier, Brother Thierry-Marie Courau, Frans B. M. de Waal, Olafur Eliasson, Scilla Elworthy, Alexandra M.

Download or read book De la perception de la maladie d Alzheimer ou des syndromes apparentes par les aidants naturels son impact au quotidien sur la prise en charge des patients written by Guyrette Tchepanvo Touohou-Demanou Tejioni and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : La maladie d'Alzheimer et les maladies apparentées sont des pathologies chroniques et évolutives entrainant une perte progressive d'autonomie pour le patient. Il s'opère donc progressivement un transfert de charges de plus en plus important sur l'aidant : le fardeau de l'aidant. Notre problématique de recherche était de savoir si les connaissances de l'aidant au sujet de la maladie avaient une influence sur sa perception et sa gestion de la maladie au quotidien. L'objectif principal de l'étude était donc de décrire la façon dont les aidants naturels perçoivent la maladie de leur proche. Nous avons également cherché à identifier les connaissances et les sources d'informations des aidants au sujet de la pathologie de leur proche. Méthode : Etude qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés auprès d'aidants naturels de patients déments dans les alpes maritimes (06). Résultats : 16 aidants ont été interrogés. La plupart étaient des femmes (81%) aidante de leur époux (75%). L'annonce de la maladie était toujours faite en présence de l'aidant. Celle-ci était suivie d'une réaction ambivalente, entre choc et soulagement. Les aidants naturels percevaient la maladie de leur proche comme une fatalité. Tous les aidants étaient informés par des médecins sur la maladie de leurs proches mais la majorité semblaient insatisfait des informations fournies, pas tant sur le plan scientifique qu'en ce qui concerne l'aide au cheminement dans le parcours de soin et les aides disponibles. Ils se tournaient alors vers d'autres sources d'information (livres, internet, revues grand public, autres aidants) pour leur éducation thérapeutique. L'apprentissage par l'expérience personnelle ou « apprentissage sur le tas » était également un élément important. Un champ important initialement non attendu et celui des attentes des aidants envers leurs médecins : Désir d'écoute, de compréhension, de conseil (en démarches administratives, démarches juridiques, aides financières, nutrition de l'aidant et du proche aidé, aménagement du domicile par prévention des conséquences de la maladie du proche aidé).Conclusion : Les représentations des aidants naturels concernant la maladie de leurs proches aidés étaient plutôt fatalistes. Leurs sources de connaissances étaient très diverses, souvent expérientielles. La place du médecin traitant était ressentie comme insuffisante, notamment concernant l'orientation dans le parcours de soin, en regard des attentes des aidants.

Download or read book Alzheimer quelles aides pour qui written by Jacques Selmès and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au début de la maladie d’Alzheimer, votre vie et celle du malade dont vous avez la charge ne changera pas beaucoup : à peine aurez-vous besoin d’aider ponctuellement votre proche au quotidien. Les aides extérieures prennent toute leur valeur lorsque les conséquences les plus lourdes de la maladie apparaissent. La fatigue de l’aidant, qui assure la coordination de la prise en charge, conduit quasi inéluctablement à l’entrée du malade dans un établissement d’accueil. Le maintien à domicile n’est possible qu’avec la création d’un réseau de soutien permettant de faire face à la dépendance du malade vis-à-vis de son aidant et à la nécessité de soulager ce dernier. Les aides nécessaires à la constitution d’un réseau de soutien existent, même si elles ne couvrent pas la totalité des besoins, ou que certaines ne sont pas totalement adaptées à votre situation particulière. De nature très diverse (allocations ou services à domicile), elles sont attribuées en fonction de critères bien précis, qu’il faut connaître. De plus, les dispositions légales changent (nouvelles lois, décrets d’application). Enfin, il n’y a pas de « guichet unique » où seraient centralisées les différentes aides, qui relèvent d’organismes administratifs très divers. La constitution du réseau de soutien à domicile s’apparente donc à un casse-tête et à une course d’obstacles administratifs…
