Abstract

This book primarily tries to bring out the analogy between the conceptual and methodological discourses on the theme of the other. The term 'Other' here refers to the oppressed sections of the society. It may be dalits, women, indigenous or ethnic communities. Since we are living in a multicultural and multilingual society, we should share our views with others on a platform where issues of the marginalized people are addressed by different scholars following different methods and techniques....

Abstract

This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental, economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the move. But other sorts of changes—from global tourism to undocumented labor—have led to the fact that to some extent, we are all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure of our time. Rather than viewing migration as the exception to the rule of political fixity and citizenship, Thomas Nail reinterprets the history of political power from the perspective of the movement that defines the migrant in the first place. Applying his "kinopolitics" to several major historical conditions (territorial, political, juridical, and economic) and figures of migration (the nomad, the barbarian, the vagabond, and the proletariat), he provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary migration.

Abstract

Publikace Psychické deprivace v detství J. Langmeiera a Z. Matejcka zaznamenala již po svém prvním vydání v r. 1963 znacný ohlas. Prulomová práce, ve které autori citují díla západních expertu i výsledky z vlastní praxe s ohroženými detmi, popisuje pojem psychické deprivace u detí v ústavní péci a nepríznivých rodinných pomerech. Metodologicky dukladné dílo se nezastavuje u odborného posouzení problému, ale klade do popredí zájmy dítete a humanistický prístup.Oba autori se u nás významne zasloužili o to, aby se péce o opuštené deti sestávala z vhodné kombinace péce ústavní a podporované péce rodinné ci pestounské. Ovlivnili též zakládání prvních SOS detských vesnicek.Psychická deprivace v detství je stále doporucovanou základní literaturou pro studenty psychologie, pedagogiky a sociologie, ocení ji však každý, kdo se venuje problematice ohrožených detí. Ctvrté vydání díla je opatreno predmluvou profesorky Vágnerové a aktualizovaným výberem literatury k tématu.

Abstract

In post-World War II Canada, black women's positions within the teaching profession served as sites of struggle and conflict as the nation worked to address the needs of its diversifying population. From their entry into teachers' college through their careers in the classroom and administration, black women educators encountered systemic racism and gender barriers at every step. So they worked to change the system. Using oral narratives to tell the story of black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s, Schooling the System provides textured insight into how issues of race, gender, class, geographic origin, and training shaped women's distinct experiences within the profession. By valuing women's voices and lived experiences, Funké Aladejebi illustrates that black women, as a diverse group, made vital contributions to the creation and development of anti-racist education in Canada. As cultural mediators within Ontario school systems, these women circumvented subtle and overt forms of racial and social exclusion to create resistive teaching methods that centred black knowledges and traditions. Within their wider communities and activist circles, they fought to change entrenched ideas about what Canadian citizenship should look like. As schools continue to grapple with creating diverse educational programs for all Canadians, Schooling the System is a timely excavation of the meaningful contributions of black women educators who helped create equitable policies and practices in schools and communities.
