Book Synopsis Parias urbains by : Loïc J. D. Wacquant
Download or read book Parias urbains written by Loïc J. D. Wacquant and published by Editions La Découverte. This book was released on 2006 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rompant avec le biais exotisant des discours médiatique et politique, ce livre emmène le lecteur au sein du ghetto de Chicago et d'une cité déshéritée de la banlieue industrielle de Paris. Où l'on découvre que la marginalité urbaine n'est pas partout tissée de la même étoffe. Mêlant observations de terrain, données statistiques et rappels historiques, Loïc Wacquant montre que l'implosion du cœur noir de la métropole étasunienne s'explique par le retrait de l'économie salariale et de l'Etat-providence favorisé par des politiques publiques de ségrégation et d'abandon urbain. Quant à la prolifération des " quartiers à problèmes " au pourtour des villes européennes, elle n'annonce pas la formation de ghettos à l'américaine, mais traduit la décomposition des territoires ouvriers sous l'effet conjoint de la désindustrialisation, de la précarisation du travail, et du brassage ethnique de populations jusque-là cloisonnées. La comparaison de la " Ceinture noire " étasunienne et de la " Ceinture rouge " française prouve que les structures et les politiques étatiques jouent un rôle déterminant dans l'articulation des inégalités de classe, de lieu et d'origine des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Elle révèle la cristallisation d'un nouveau régime de marginalité nourri par l'instabilité du salariat, le recul de l'Etat social et la concentration, dans des districts mal famés, de catégories dépourvues d'un langage collectif leur permettant de se forger une identité commune et d'affirmer des revendications collectives. En éclairant d'un jour nouveau le mélange détonant entre la misère, l'opulence et la violence qui resurgissent de concert dans les métropoles du Premier monde, Parias urbains offre des outils précieux pour revigorer le débat public sur les inégalités sociales et la citoyenneté à l'aube du siècle nouveau.
Book Synopsis Representation of the Banlieusard in Literature, Cinema, and Performances by : Emma Chebinou
Download or read book Representation of the Banlieusard in Literature, Cinema, and Performances written by Emma Chebinou and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representation of the Banlieusard in Literature, Cinema, and Performances: Francephobia explores the complex identity of the banlieusard within French society through literature, film and pop culture, such as rap music and stand-up comedy. The banlieue, known in English as the “inner city,” is home to underrepresented and marginalized descendants of North- and West- African immigrants as well as some white European immigrants or white French individuals. Established in tall housing estates located on the wider outskirts of Paris, the banlieue is a space constructed through the systemic disenfranchisement of working-class people across genders, ethnicities, and race and through associations with crime, unemployment, poverty, etc. In face of these challenges, the banlieusard(e) attempts to claim their Frenchness but finds oneself trapped by society’s negative perception. Similarly, they are also physically trapped in their space of high-rise buildings and in a social/economic sphere with preconceived beliefs making it difficult to integrate and contribute to French society. This book aims to emphasize resistance and the agency of the banlieusard(e) rather than pointing out their marginalization by society’s preconceptions. Therefore, the spatial arrangement of the projects where they live redefines, deconstructs, reconstructs and reverses the center/periphery dichotomy, in which the center becomes the banlieue and as a result, its outcast status is diminished. Through a varied selection of novels, films, rap and stand-up comedy, Emma Chebinou exposes the necessity in examining negative stigmas created by the institutional discourse and by space and gives a broader interpretation of the banlieue.

Book excerpt: Quel est le sens des émeutes urbaines qui s'intensifient depuis quinze ans ? Une analyse engagée des logiques de ségrégation urbaine dans les démocraties occidentales. Rompant avec le biais exotisant des discours politique et médiatique, ce livre emmène le lecteur au sein du ghetto de Chicago et d'une cité déshéritée de la banlieue industrielle de Paris.

Book Synopsis Transnational French Studies by : Charles Forsdick
Download or read book Transnational French Studies written by Charles Forsdick and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitute the object of study for students of French: language and multilingualism; the construction of transcultural places and the corresponding sense of space; the experience of time; and transnational subjectivities. The underlying premise of the volume is that the transnational is present (and has long been present) throughout what we define as French history and culture. Chapters address instances and phenomena associated with the transnational, from prehistory to the present, opening up the geopolitical map of French studies beyond France and including sites where communities identified as French have formed.
Book Synopsis Learning from the Slums for the Development of Emerging Cities by : Jean-Claude Bolay
Download or read book Learning from the Slums for the Development of Emerging Cities written by Jean-Claude Bolay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with slums as a specific question and a central focus in urban planning. It radically reverses the official version of the history of world cities as narrated during decades: slums are not at the margin of the contemporary process of urbanization; they are an integral part of it. Taking slums as its central focus and regarding them as symptomatic of the ongoing transformations of the city, the book moves to the very heart of the problem in urban planning. The book presents 16 case studies that form the basis for a theory of the slum and a concrete development manual for the slum. The interdisciplinary approach to analysing slums presented in this volume enables researchers to look at social and economic dimensions as well as at the constructive and spatial aspects of slums. Both at the scientific and the pedagogical level, it allows one to recognize the efforts of the slum’s residents, key players in the past, and present development of their neighborhoods, and to challenge public and private stakeholders on priorities decided in urban planning, and their mismatches when compared to the findings of experts and the demands of users. Whether one is a planner, an architect, a developer or simply an inhabitant of an emerging city, the presence of slums in one’s environment – at the same time central and nonetheless incongruous – makes a person ask questions. Today, it is out of the question to be satisfied with the assumption of the marginality of slums, or of the incongruous nature of their existence. Slums are now fully part of the urban landscape, contributing to the identity and the urbanism of cities and their stakeholders.
Book Synopsis From the City to the Desert by : Raffael Beier
Download or read book From the City to the Desert written by Raffael Beier and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, large-scale housing and resettlement projects have experienced a renaissance in many developing countries and are increasingly shaping new urban peripheries. One prominent example is Morocco's Villes Sans Bidonville (cities without shantytowns) programme that aims at eradicating all shantytowns in Morocco by resettling its population to apartment blocks at the urban peripheries. Analysing the specific resettlement project of Karyan Central, a 90-year-old shantytown in Casablanca, this book sheds light on both process and outcome of resettlement from the perspective of affected people. It draws on rich empirical data from a structure household survey (n=871), qualitative interviews with different stakeholder, document analysis, and non-participant observation gathered during four months of field research. The author emphasises that the VSB programme, although formally part of anti-poverty and urban inclusion policies, puts primary focus on the clearance of the shantytown. Largely based on ill-informed policy assumptions, stigmatisation, rent-seeking, and opaque implementation practices, the VSB programme interpreted adequate housing in a narrow sense. By showing how social interactions, employment patterns, and access to urban functions have changed because of resettlement, the book provides sound empirical evidence that housing means more than four walls and a roof.

Book Synopsis Spaces of the Poor by : Hans-Christian Petersen
Download or read book Spaces of the Poor written by Hans-Christian Petersen and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know about the urban impoverished areas of the world and the living environment of its inhabitants? How did the urban poor cope with their surroundings? How did they interpret and adopt urban space in order to fight against their position at the periphery of society? This volume takes up these questions and investigates how far approaches of cultural sciences can contribute to overcome the »exoticization of the ghetto« (Loïc Wacquant) and instead to look at the heterogeneity and individuality behind the facades. It opens new perspectives for the research of poverty and inequalities that do not stop at collective categories.
Book Synopsis Ethnic Segregation in Cities by : Ceri Peach
Download or read book Ethnic Segregation in Cities written by Ceri Peach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, Ethnic Segregation in Cities argues that race and ethnicity are fundamental to writing about the city, and that economic patterns adapt themselves to race and ethnicity rather than vice versa. The problem of ethnic segregation is a burning one for both geographers and sociologists – geographers because of the concern for all aspects of urban deprivation, and sociologists because they are discovering that space and spatial processes are important factors in influencing social segregation or assimilation. The book brings together some of the main contributors to the literature on spatial aspects of ethnicity from both sides of the Atlantic. A variety of evidence from New York, Detroit, Bradford and Blackburn address the question of whether choice on the path of ethnic members, or constraints imposed by the host society are determinant factors influencing residential segregation. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, human geography and urban studies.
Book Synopsis Colonial Migrants and Racism by : N. MacMaster
Download or read book Colonial Migrants and Racism written by N. MacMaster and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-04-23 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive study in English of the earliest and largest 'Third-World' migration into pre-war Europe. Full attention is given to the relationship between the society of emigration, undermined by colonialism, and processes of ethnic organisation in the metropolitan context. Contemporary anti-Algerian racism is shown to have deep roots in moves by colonial elites to control and police the migrants and to segregate them from contact with Communism, nationalist movements and the French working class.
Book Synopsis Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation by : Gaja Maestri
Download or read book Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation written by Gaja Maestri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interrogates the persistence of Roma and migrant segregation in camps in order to understand how the creation of temporary enclosures can lead to enduring marginalisation. Persistent temporariness has been widely acknowledged as a common aspect of these camps, yet it remains largely under-theorised. Gaja Maestri unpacks the notion of camp persistence to delineate its different regimes and to investigate contributing factors. In order to do so, she develops a comparison between Italy and France and offers a new theorisation of the camp as a site of contentious politics, where the interaction between governmental and non-governmental actors produces different temporal arrangements and forms of segregation. Temporary Camps, Enduring Segregation will be of interest to scholars of political sociology, European comparative politics, and urban geography, specifically to those in the field of camp studies, racial segregation, Romani studies, and urban social movements.
Book Synopsis Identifications of French People of Algerian Origin by : Jacek Kubera
Download or read book Identifications of French People of Algerian Origin written by Jacek Kubera and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an innovative presentation of the way in which the descendants of Muslim immigrants from Algeria in France perceive and deal with multiple social identifications. Against the background of the theory and methodology (such as Saussure's sign theory, Znaniecki's sociology, and Brubaker and Cooper's concepts), Kubera offers a new analysis into identity in a multicultural society. The book revolves around a combination of the modernist and post-modernist paradigms: highlighting both the constant and situational aspects of social identity. By focusing on identifications, the author shows how to overcome the problem of "intangibility" of identity in research practice. Touching on colonialism, gender, religion, migration, and racism, this will be an important contribution to students and scholars across sociology, anthropology, political science, law, and international relations.
Book Synopsis Urban Poverty and the Underclass by : Enzo Mingione
Download or read book Urban Poverty and the Underclass written by Enzo Mingione and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades "poverty" has moved centrestage as an issue within the social sciences. This volume, edited by one of Europe's foremost sociologists, aims to assess the debates surrounding poverty and the responses to it, exploring the ways in which the various socio-political systems and welfarist regimes are being radically transformed. The essays examine how such change is effected by failing welfare programmes and enervating social structures such as family and community which once would have provided mechanisms of social stability. The first part of the book provides reflections on urban poverty; the second part discusses the widely debated idea of an "underclass" and its meanings in Europe and in the USA, and the final part draws on concrete empirical analyses to examine the patterns of poverty thoughout Western Europe. This volume will be of first-rate importance to all serious students of politics, sociology, geography, public policy, youth and community studies, social policy and American studies.
Book Synopsis Culture and Customs of Morocco by : Raphael Chijioke Njoku
Download or read book Culture and Customs of Morocco written by Raphael Chijioke Njoku and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-12-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moroccan culture today is a blend of Berber, African, Arab, Jewish, and European influences in an Islamic state. Morocco's strategic position at the tip of North Africa just below Spain has brought these cultures together through the centuries. The parallels with African and Middle Eastern countries and other Muslim cultures are drawn as the major topics are discussed, yet the uniqueness of Moroccan traditions, particularly those of the indigenous Berbers, stand out. The narrative emphasizes the evolving nature of the storied subcultures. With more exposure to Western-style education and pop culture, the younger generations are gradually turning away from the strict religious observances of their elders. General readers finally have a substantive resource for information on a country most known in the United States for the Humphrey Bogart classic Casablanca, images of the souks (markets), hashish, and Berber rugs. The strong introduction surveys the people, land, government, economy, educational system, and history. Most weight is given to modern history, with French colonial rule ending in 1956 and a succession of monarchs since then. The discussion of religion and worldview illuminates the Islamic base and Jewish communities but is also notable for the discussion of Berber beliefs in spirits. In the Literature and Media chapter, the oral culture of the Berbers and the new preference for Western-style education and use of French and even English are highlights. The Moroccans are renowned as skilled artisans, and their products are enumerated in the Art and Architecture/Housing chapter, along with the intriguing descriptions of casbahs and old quarters in the major cities. Moroccans are hospitable and family oriented, which is reflected in descriptions of their cuisine and social customs. Moroccan women seem to be somewhat freer than others in Muslim countries but the chapter on Gender Roles, Marriage, and Family shows that much progress is still needed. Ceremonies and celebrations are important cultural markers that bring communities together, and a wealth of religious, national, and family rites of passage, with accompanying music and dance, round out the cultural coverage.
Book Synopsis Introducing Urban Anthropology by : Rivke Jaffe
Download or read book Introducing Urban Anthropology written by Rivke Jaffe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the important and growing field of urban anthropology. This is an increasingly critical area of study, as more than half of the world's population now lives in cities and anthropological research is increasingly done in an urban context. Exploring contemporary anthropological approaches to the urban, the authors consider: How can we define urban anthropology? What are the main themes of twenty-first century urban anthropological research? What are the possible future directions in the field? The chapters cover topics such as urban mobilities, place-making and public space, production and consumption, politics and governance. These are illustrated by lively case studies drawn from a diverse range of urban settings in the global North and South. Accessible yet theoretically incisive, Introducing Urban Anthropology will be a valuable resource for anthropology students as well as of interest to those working in urban studies and related disciplines such as sociology and geography.
