Download or read book Identity and Cultural Diversity written by Maykel Verkuyten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity and Cultural Diversity examines immigration and its effect on diversity from a social psychological perspective. Immigration increases cultural diversity and raises difficult questions of belonging, adaptation, and the unity of societies: questions of identity may be felt by people struggling with the basic problem of who they are and where they fit in, and although cultural diversity can enrich communities and societies it also sometimes leads to a new tribalism, which threatens democracy and social cohesion. The author Maykel Verkuyten considers how people give meaning to the fact that they belong to ethnic, racial, religious and national groups, and the implications this can have for social cohesion. The opening chapters consider the nature of social identity and group identification, and include discussions of identity development in adolescence, acculturation, and multiple and dual identities. Verkuyten then considers one of the most pernicious social problems: how conflict emerges from perceiving others as different. He examines when and why group distinctions grow into conflicts and considers the role of cultural diversity beliefs, such as multiculturalism and assimilation. The book concludes by exploring productive ways of managing cultural diversity. Written in an engaging style, Identity and Cultural Diversity will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social and cultural psychology and other social sciences, and it also makes key themes in social psychology accessible to a wider audience outside academia.

Book excerpt: Examining the global experiences, challenges and achievements of Muslim women participating in physical activities and sport, this important new study makes a profound contribution to our understanding of both contemporary Islam and the complexity and diversity of women’s lives in the modern world. The book presents an overview of current research into constructs of gender, the role of religion and the importance of situation, and looks closely at what Islam has to say about women’s participation in sport and what Muslim women themselves have to say about their participation in sport. It highlights the challenges and opportunities for women in sport in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries, utilizing a series of extensive case-studies in various countries which invite the readers to conduct cross-cultural comparisons. Material on Iraq, Palestine and Bosnia and Herzegovina provides rare insights into the impact of war on sporting activities for women.

Download or read book Diana Inquest The French Cover Up written by John Morgan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-06-02 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diana Inquest: The French Cover-Up is the gripping story of how a culture of corruption and cover-up was endemic throughout the investigation into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. It tracks the French investigation right from the initial minutes after the crash inside the Alma Tunnel through to the conclusion by Judge Stéphan in September 1999. The culture of cover-up that surrounded the early investigations into the crash is revealed in striking detail - for example, the thorough cleansing of the crash scene within several hours of the crash. Using witness and documentary evidence - including what was heard during the 2008 inquest - this volume reveals that Henri Paul, the driver of the Mercedes, was not drunk. This book reveals the major difficulties faced by the inquest jury - substantial portions of the most critical evidence were withheld from them. This eventually resulted in a seriously flawed verdict in one of the most important jury inquests of our modern era.

Download or read book The Yorkists written by Anne Crawford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2007-04-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Yorkist dynasty included both the most notorious king in English history, Richard III, and the most tragic, his nephew Edward V, one of the Princes in the Tower. The Yorkists gained the throne in 1461, when Edward IV, who traced his claim to Edward III, replaced the ineffectual Henry VI as king. Forced into exile in 1470 by his cousin, Warwick 'the Kingmaker', who restored Henry VI to his throne, Edward returned to power after the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury in 1471. His reign was ended by his premature death in 1483, leaving behind a son Edward, a minor, as his heir. This led to Richard III's ursurpation of his nephew's throne. His reign was ended two years later by his defeat and death at Bosworth Field at the hands of Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII. His marriage to Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV, founded a new dynasty." "The Yorkists were one of the two main contending parties in England's first great civil war, the Wars of the Roses. They have been immortalized by Shakespeare not only in his Richard III but also in his three parts of Henry VI. Anne Crawford examines the characters of these kings and members of their family and the truths behind the stories in the plays, including the death of the Duke of Clarence by drowning in a butt of malmsey, and Richard III's celebrated murder of his nephews, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York."--BOOK JACKET.
