Abstract

L'auteur étudie les mécanismes de l'émergence récente du "biologisme social" et des thèses de l'inégalité naturelle, fondement du racisme "scientifique" en vogue ; il trace un parallèle entre la crise socio-économique et le développement de certaines idées biologiques conservatrices. Prenant l'exemple des Etats-Unis, il montre comment, avec la crise économique des années 70 renaît l'idée de la méritocratie, de l'inégalité naturelle, de l'infériorité des noirs et apparaît un mouvement néo-conservateur où se retrouvent de nombreux intellectuels, scientifiques. En 1975, paraît le livre de Edward O. Wilson : "Sociobiology : the new synthesis". C. Haghighat analyse en détail toutes les thèses de cet auteur dont la théorie centrale est que l'organisation de la société est exclusivement le prolongement de la nature biologique de l'homme. Sont ensuite étudiés les différents courants biologiques en fonction du rôle qu'ils jouent dans l'approvisionnement du libéralisme en idées réactionnaires et racistes : les théories héréditaristes de l'inégalité, le réductionnisme éthologique, la nouvelle droite en France.

Abstract

This book examines the role of American Jews in the entertainment industry, from the turn of the century to the outbreak of World War II. Eastern European Jewish immigrants are often credited with building a film industry during the first decade of the twentieth century that they dominated by the 1920s. In this study, Steven Carr reconceptualizes Jewish involvement in Hollywood by examining prevalent attitudes towards Jews among American audiences. Analogous to the Jewish Question of the nineteenth century, which was concerned with the full participation of Jews within public life, the Hollywood Question of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s addressed the Jewish population within mass media. This study reveals the powerful set of assumptions concerning ethnicity and media influence as related to the role of the Jew in the motion picture industry.

Abstract

Juxtaposing a discussion of state policy with ideas of race and citizenship in Canadian civil society, Carmela K.

Abstract

What were the consequences of the German occupation for the economy of occupied Europe? After Germany conquered major parts of the European continent, it was faced with a choice between plundering the suppressed countries and using their economies to supply its needs. The choices made not only differed from country to country, but also changed over the course of the war. Individual leaders; the economic needs of the Reich; the military situation; struggles between governors of occupied countries and Berlin officials; and finally racism, all had an impact on the outcome. In some countries the e

Abstract

Winner of an Honorable Mention in the Latin American Jewish Studies Association (LAJSA) 2017 Book Award competition for an outstanding book on a Latin American Jewish topic in the social sciences or humanities published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Landscapes of Memory and Impunity chronicles the aftermath of the most significant terrorist attack in Argentina’s history—the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed eighty-five people, wounded hundreds, and destroyed the primary Jewish mutual aid society. This volume, edited by Annette H. Levine and Natasha Zaretsky, presents the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary work about this decisive turning point in Jewish Argentine history—examining the ongoing impact of this violence and the impunity that followed. Chapters explore political protest movements, musical performance, literature, and acts of commemoration. They emphasize the intersecting themes of memory, narrative and representation, Jewish belonging, citizenship, and justice—critical fault lines that frame Jewish life after the AMIA attack, while also resonating with historical struggles for pluralism in Argentina.
