Download or read book Trajectories and Origins Survey on the Diversity of the French Population written by Cris Beauchemin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mapping Linguistic Diversity in Multicultural Contexts written by Monica Barni and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the European context, linguistic diversity can be studied at the level of both official state languages and non-national languages. This comprehensive overview offers insightful crossnational and crosscontinental perspectives on non-national languages in terms of both regional and immigrant languages. The book focuses on mapping linguistic diversity in both the private and public domain. Methodological issues and empirical outcomes are explored for a variety of European and non-European countries and languages. The book consists of four parts. Part 1 provides an introduction to the subject, as well as an overview and discussion of migration statistics and language use. Part 2 deals with the mapping of regional languages in Europe, exemplified by case studies on Welsh, Basque, and Frisian. Part 3 focuses on immigrant languages in Europe and includes case studies from both national (Switzerland, Italy, France) and crossnational (Multilingual Cities Project) perspectives. Part 4 turns to mapping linguistic diversity abroad with case studies on Australia, South Africa, Turkey, and Japan.

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 Romanian in Migration Contexts written by Aurelia Merlan and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of migration, more than 25% of Romanian L1 speakers live outside of Romania and Moldova - mostly in other European countries, but also in America and Australia. In the meantime, many second-generation speakers have become part of this group. The situation has resulted in various different constellations of language contact, both within the group of Romance languages and amongst typologically different and unrelated languages. Despite the fact that these contact scenarios present a wide range of research perspectives, there have been hardly any studies on Romanian as a language of migrants up until now. The volume Romanian in the Context of Migration brings together contributions on the Romanian language in Europe and in North America in the context of current migration linguistics. It includes studies on Romanian in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain and on the Romanian of those who return to Romania and Moldova. Über 25 % der Sprecher mit Rumänisch als L1 leben heute - infolge der Migration - außerhalb von Rumänien und der Republik Moldau, zumeist in anderen Ländern Europas, aber auch in Amerika und Australien. Inzwischen sind zahlreiche Vertreter der 2. Generation hinzugekommen. Aus dieser Situation ergeben sich unterschiedliche Konstellationen von Sprachkontakt, sowohl innerromanisch als auch mit typologisch verschiedenen und nicht verwandten Sprachen. All diese Kontaktszenarien eröffnen vielfältige Forschungsperspektiven. Dennoch gibt es bislang kaum Untersuchungen zum Rumänischen als Sprache von Migrantinnen und Migranten. Der Sammelband Romanian in the Context of Migration vereint Beiträge zum Rumänischen in Europa und Nordamerika im Kontext der aktuellen Migrationslinguistik. Er umfasst Studien zum Rumänischen in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Kanada, Portugal, Slowenien und Spanien und zum Rumänischen der Rückkehrer.

Download or read book Migrant Integration Between Homeland and Host Society Volume 1 written by Agnieszka Weinar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a theoretical framing to analyse and examine the interaction between origin and destination in the migrant integration process. Coverage offers a set of concrete conceptual tools, which can be operationalised when measuring integration. This title is the first of two complementary volumes, each of which is designed to stand alone and provide a different approach to the topic. Here, the chapters offer a detailed look at integration across eight key areas: labour, education, language and culture, civic and political participation, housing, social ties, religion, and access to citizenship. Readers are presented with an examination into the globally available knowledge on interactions between emigration/diaspora policies on one hand and integration policies on the other. Migrants actively belong to two places: the land they left behind and the home they are seeking to build. This book gives an insightful argument for the need to include information about countries and communities of origin when examining integration, which is often overlooked. It will appeal to academics, policymakers, integration practitioners, civil society organisations, as well as students.Overall, the chapters establish a cohesive analytical framework to this important topic. A complementary volume: Migrant Integration between Homeland and Host Society Volume 2: How countries of origin impact migrant integration outcomes: an analysis, edited by A. Di Bartolomeo, S. Kalantaryan, J. Salamonska and P. Fargues builds upon this foundation and presents an empirical approach to migrant integration.

Download or read book The Impact of UNESCO on States Cultural Policies written by Alexandre Couture Gagnon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Impact of UNESCO on States' Cultural Policies focuses on the impact of the 2005 Convention on Diversity of Cultural Expressions on the cultural policies of eight states and substates, examining how they have integrated it into their own cultural policy. Cultural diversity presents a challenge for all governments. As migration increases and technology makes access to worldwide cultural products easier, governments seek to maintain a vibrant culture within their states or substates so that their populations can keep a strong sense of identity. Cultural policies become key to balance cultural diversity and national identity, or to promote them in parallel. The book addresses three main themes: how governments deal with cultural diversity, especially in their cultural policies; what the impact of an international convention on individual states’ policies is; and how different states’ status (i.e. size) on the international scene affects their implementation of an international convention. Providing a systematic comparative analysis, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of public policy, cultural policy and international organizations. It will also be useful to policymakers involved in cultural policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce volume réunit les contributions de quelques-uns des meilleurs spécialistes des langues régionales de France, réunis dans un cadre extérieur à l'hexagone pour un bilan distancié, interdisciplinaire et comparatif. Les textes, en français et en anglais, sont organisés en trois grandes parties : situation générale, problèmes institutionnels, études de cas. Des (socio)linguistes, ethnologues, géographes, juristes, responsbles de l'enseignement, couvrent le panorama global des problèmes qui se posent, soit par des analyses transversales de questions générales (identification, vitalité, perception politique), soit par l'analyse d'exemples précis (taux de pratiques diverses, situation institutionnelle et juridique, médias, actions culturelles, enseignement) pris dans six langues différentes (alsacien, basque, breton, corse, occitan, provençal). Trois caractéristiques originales marquent cet ensemble : une confrontation complémentaire entre une vision francophone et une vision anglophone de la question, la méthode du bilan global par échantillonnage, et enfin le souci d'articuler analyse scientifique et réflexion humaniste, observation objective et actions concrètes. Dans cet "état des lieux" à un tournant historique, se dessinent des pistes de repositionnement scientifique des problèmes ainsi que des mesures administratives et politiques. Des perspectives d'aménagment et d'évolutions sont évoquées, à partir d'une réflexion située dans le cadre de la transition vers l'Union européenne et de l'ouverture croissante des relations internationales.
