"Turning toward Edification discusses foreigners in Korea from before the founding of Chosŏn in 1392 until the mid-nineteenth century. Although it has been common to describe Chosŏn Korea as a monocultural and homogeneous state, Adam Bohnet reveals the considerable presence of foreigners and people of foreign ancestry in Chosŏn Korea as well as the importance to the Chosŏn monarchy of engagement with the outside world. These foreigners included Jurchens and Japanese from border polities that formed diplomatic relations with Chosŏn prior to 1592, Ming Chinese and Japanese deserters who settled in Chosŏn during the Japanese invasion between 1592 and 1598, Chinese and Jurchen refugees who escaped the Manchu state that formed north of Korea during the early seventeenth century, and even Dutch castaways who arrived in Chosŏn during the mid-1700s. Foreigners were administered by the Chosŏn monarchy through the tax category of "submitting-foreigner" (hyanghwain). This term marked such foreigners as uncivilized outsiders coming to Chosŏn to receive moral edification and they were granted Korean spouses, Korean surnames, land, agricultural tools, fishing boats, and protection from personal taxes. Originally the status was granted for a limited time, however, by the seventeenth century it had become hereditary. Beginning in the 1750s foreign descendants of Chinese origin were singled out and reclassified as imperial subjects (hwangjoin), giving them the right to participate in the palace-sponsored Ming Loyalist rituals. Bohnet argues that the evolution of their status cannot be explained by a Confucian or Sinocentric enthusiasm for China. The position of foreigners-Chinese or otherwise-in Chosŏn society must be understood in terms of their location within Chosŏn social hierarchies. During the early Chosŏn, all foreigners were clearly located below the sajok aristocracy. This did not change even during the eighteenth century, when the increasingly bureaucratic state recategorized Ming migrants to better accord with the Chosŏn state's official Ming Loyalism. These changes may be understood in relation to the development of bureaucratized identities in the Qing Empire and elsewhere in the world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and as part of the vernacularization of elite ideologies that has been noted elsewhere in Eurasia"--

Au vingtième siècle, l’Allemagne est passée du statut de pays d’émigration à celui de pays d’immigration. L’objet de cet ouvrage est d’analyser, à travers le prisme de l’identité multiple, l’intégration des immigrés allemands à l’étranger ou des immigrés étrangers en Allemagne de manière comparative dans leurs rapports au pays d’origine ou au pays d’accueil, pour déterminer les facteurs d’intégration ou les difficultés rencontrées. Peut-on dégager, en partant d’exemples représentatifs pris dans les divers types de migrations, dans les divers pays d’accueil ou d’origine, des lignes de force communes ? Quels facteurs favorisent un équilibre entre pays d’origine et pays d’accueil ? Quels sont les aspects juridiques, linguistiques, sociologiques, culturels, identitaires qui entrent en jeu ? Les expériences du vingtième siècle peuvent-elles éclairer les problématiques actuelles, en Allemagne comme en France ?

How is solidarity achieved in highly diverse societies - particularly those that have been until recently characterized by rather homogeneous populations? What are the implications of growing levels of diversity on existing social arrangements? These two fundamental questions are explored in this edited collection, which examines the challenges of minority integration in four Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These nations represent paradigmatic examples of social democratic welfare states that place a premium on a robust package of social rights, combined with policies aimed at reducing levels of class-based inequality and promoting gender equity. All four of these nations have witnessed growing levels of diversity due to immigration and three of them have been forced to rethink their policies concerning the indigenous Sámi, as well as old minority groups. Two introductory chapters, by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Peter Kivisto, serve as a conceptual framework for the seven case studies that follow, and which, from a variety of perspectives and with differing emphases, analyze the evolving realities in these nations today. Taken together, they offer evidence of the critical issues surrounding attempts to achieve solidarity while valorizing diversity.

Si chaque histoire d’immigration est différente, les difficultés auxquelles sont confrontées les familles immigrantes sont bien souvent semblables. Avec une attention particulière portée aux familles d’origine haïtienne et maghrébine, ce livre rend compte de la multiplicité des parcours migratoires ainsi que des défis sociosanitaires et scolaires auxquels doivent faire face les nouveaux arrivants comme ceux établis au Québec depuis plus longtemps. Les auteurs travaillent dans les domaines de l’éducation, des sciences sociales et de la santé ; ils se sont appuyés sur de nombreuses expériences de terrain, en laissant une large place aux témoignages des familles.
