Multiculturalism is now seen by many of its critics as the source
of intercultural and social tensions, fostering communal
segregation and social conflicts. While the cultural diversity of
contemporary societies has to be acknowledged as an empirical and
demographic fact, whether multiculturalism as a policy offers an
optimal conduit for intercultural understanding and social harmony
has become increasingly a matter of polarised public debate. This
book examines the contested philosophical foundations of
multiculturalism and its, often controversial, applications in the
context of migrant societies. It also explores the current
theoretical debates about the extent to which multiculturalism, and
related conceptual constructs, can account for the various ethical
challenges and policy dilemmas surrounding the management of
cultural diversity in our contemporary societies. The authors
consider common conceptual and empirical features from a
transnational perspective through analysis of the case studies of
Australia, Canada, Columbia, Germany, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom and Uruguay. This book will be of interest to students and
scholars of political science, comparative politics, international
studies, multiculturalism, migration and political sociology.

Un essai, politique, sur l'oralite dans un corpus de films
d'Afrique noire francophone de 1950 a 2000. Dans un langage clair,
l'auteur illustre comment dans les societes de l'ecriture, le texte
engagerait l'Homme et que cette ecriture aurait impose un genre, un
style et des modes de production de sens qui sont propres a ces
societes de l'ecriture d'ou, par exemple, la naissance du langage
cinematographique formalise. Ainsi il se demande ce qui arriverait
a une analyse de film calquee sur ce langage dont les articulations
discursives ne sont pas necessairement en adequation avec la
mysticite de la parole qui, elle, engagerait veritablement l'Homme
en Afrique noire? Qu'arrive-t-il a l'analyse quand l'image d'une
parole detourne le sens prescrit dans les modes operatoires du
langage cinematographique des societes de l'ecrit ? Comment le
cinema, a travers la technique audiovisuelle, devient-il une
technologie par excellence capable de nous faire voir la nature
mystique et culturelle de cette parole ?
Women in the "Promised Land" places African Canadian women's lived
experiences, identities, and histories at the centre of Canada's
past. This collection of original research edited by leading
scholars in the field encourages readers to interrogate the idea of
Canada as a "Promised Land" by examining the rich and varied
history of African Canadian women. The nine chapters span the early
1830's of slavery through to the late twentieth centuries of
activism. This interdisciplinary collection draws on existing
research from cultural studies, literary studies, communications,
and visual culture to reframe familiar figures in African Canadian
women's history, such as feminist Mary Ann Shadd and civil rights
activist Viola Desmond, in the wider African diaspora. This
invaluable text sheds light on questions of the past, present, and
future in the field, and is best suited for undergraduate courses
in women's studies, African studies, sociology, and history.
Features: contains interdisciplinary, accessible, and original work
that examines African Canadian women's history through a visual
culture lens includes chapter abstracts, questions for discussion,
and a bibliographic appendix encourages readers to make connections
between African Canadian women's history and emerging scholarship
on race, indigeneity, and queer histories
