Forme spécifique d'acquisition de compétence, l'alternance est souvent parée de nombreuses vertus, point de vue dont on peut comprendre les raisons en s'appuyant sur les travaux de la psychologie cognitive. Après avoir mis en exergue l'intérêt du principe de l'alternance, cet ouvrage s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l'alternance sous contrat de travail qui s'incarne dans divers dispositifs : les contrats d'apprentissage, de qualification, d'adaptation et d'orientation.Si l'alternance est un principe pédagogique attrayant et légitime, on constate toutefois un certain décalage entre l'idéal et la réalité de l'alternance : dans une large mesure, l'alternance ne permet pas l'accès à des emplois stables aux jeunes les plus défavorisés. Ceci amène inévitablement à la question : l'entreprise peut-elle satisfaire aux exigences de l'alternance et transmettre les compétences transférables permettant une insertion durable dans l'emploi ?Pour répondre à cette question, Alexandre Léné propose une analyse détaillée des contraintes auxquelles doivent faire face les entreprises dans la production de savoirs. Il examine en particulier les effets de la concurrence pour la main-d'œuvre qualifiée sur le marché du travail.Par ailleurs, il montre que l'alternance est un modèle en pleine mutation. Les transformations des organisations productives se traduisent par de nouvelles exigences en matière de compétences et modifient les conditions de fonctionnement des systèmes de formation en alternance. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les évolutions actuelles des dispositifs français et allemands de formation. Il présente un certain nombre d'expériences innovantes qui dessinent les contours d'une «nouvelle» alternance.Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qu'intéressent les problèmes de formation, d'emploi et d'insertion.

In Neoliberal Frontiers, Brenda Chalfin presents an ethnographic examination of the day-to-day practices of the officials of Ghana's Customs Service, exploring the impact of neoliberal restructuring and integration into the global economy on Ghanaian sovereignty. From the revealing vantage point of the Customs office, Chalfin discovers a fascinating inversion of our assumptions about neoliberal transformation: bureaucrats and local functionaries, government offices, checkpoints, and registries are typically held to be the targets of reform, but Chalfin finds that these figures and sites of authority act as the engine for changes in state sovereignty. Ghana has served as a model of reform for the neoliberal establishment, making it an ideal site for Chalfin to explore why the restructuring of a state on the global periphery portends shifts that occur in all corners of the world. At once a foray into international political economy, politics, and political anthropology, Neoliberal Frontiers is an innovative interdisciplinary leap forward for ethnographic writing, as well as an eloquent addition to the literature on postcolonial Africa.

In The Devil behind the Mirror, Steven Gregory provides a compelling and intimate account of the impact that transnational processes associated with globalization are having on the lives and livelihoods of people in the Dominican Republic. Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the adjacent towns of Boca Chica and Andrés, Gregory's study deftly demonstrates how transnational flows of capital, culture, and people are mediated by contextually specific power relations, politics, and history. He explores such topics as the informal economy, the making of a telenova, sex tourism, and racism and discrimination against Haitians, who occupy the lowest rung on the Dominican economic ladder. Innovative, beautifully written, and now updated with a new preface, The Devil behind the Mirror masterfully situates the analysis of global economic change in everyday lives.

The Los Angeles riots shattered Korean immigrants' naïve belief in the American dream. As many as 2,300 Korean shopkeepers lost their lifetime investments in one day. Korean immigrants had struggled for years to become economically independent through small businesses of their own. However, the riots made them realize how fragile their economic base is because their businesses are dependent on the impoverished, oppressed, and rebellious classes. In On My Own, In-Jin Yoon combines an intimate fieldwork account of Korean-black relations in Chicago and Los Angeles with extensive quantitative analysis at the national level. Yoon argues that a complete understanding of the contemporary Korean-American community requires systematic analyses of patterns of Korean immigration, entrepreneurship, and race relations with other minority groups. He explains how small business has become the major economic activity of Korean immigrants and how Korean businesses in minority neighborhoods have intensified racial tensions between Koreans and minorities like blacks and Latinos. "A groundbreaking study of Korean-black relations. Yoon's insights on immigration, entrepreneurship, and race relations significantly enhance our understanding of urban racial tensions."-William Julius Wilson, Harvard University
