Abstract

La ségrégation sociale est un fait ancien dans la ville. Bien avant l'avènement de l'époque industrielle, les quartiers urbains pouvaient être plus ou moins marqués par des formes de division sociale. Toutefois, c'est au cours de la période contemporaine que la ségrégation est devenue nettement plus marquée au sein des villes, au point de constituer très progressivement un objet de recherche. Parallèlement, les pouvoirs publics en France ont placé la lutte contre la ségrégation au coeur des politiques publiques ayant pour finalité la régulation des déséquilibres socio-territoriaux marqués dans la ville. L'étude de la ségrégation est donc indissociable de l'analyse de la politique dite de la ville et des politiques locales de l'habitat. Cette exploration des liens tissés entre l'inégale répartition des catégories sociales et celle des caractéristiques du parc de logement, mais aussi la façon dont la question de la ségrégation ou de la mixité sociale est abordée dans la construction des politiques publiques sont explorées à une double échelle. L'ambition de cet ouvrage est en effet de faire le point sur l'état des connaissances de la géographie socio-résidentielle des villes françaises, tout en prenant appui sur des études de cas développées à partir de trois agglomérations situées dans l'Ouest de la France. Il s'agit d'une part de Nantes, capitale régionale des Pays de la Loire (550 000 habi-tants en 1999), d'autre part de deux petites villes moyennes qui avoisinent chacune les 50 000 habitants, à savoir Cholet (sous-préfecture industrielle du Maine-et-Loire) et La Roche-sur-Yon (préfecture de la Vendée à l'économie tertiaire et administrative).

Abstract

The struggle for status within sport is a microcosm of the struggle for rights, freedom and recognition within society. Injustices within sport often reflect larger injustices in society as a whole. In South Africa, for example, sport has been crucial in advancing the rights and liberty of oppressed groups. The geographical and chronological range of the essays in Ethnicity, Sport, Identity reveal the global role of sport in this advance. The collection examines cases of discrimination directed at individuals or groups, resulting in their exclusion from full participation in

Abstract

The civil rights movement was arguably the most successful social movement in American history. In a provocative new assessment of its success, David Chappell argues that the story of civil rights is not a story of the ultimate triumph of liberal ideas after decades of gradual progress. Rather, it is a story of the power of religious tradition.Chappell reconsiders the intellectual roots of civil rights reform, showing how northern liberals'faith in the power of human reason to overcome prejudice was at odds with the movement's goal of immediate change. Even when liberals sincerely wanted change, they recognized that they could not necessarily inspire others to unite and fight for it. But the prophetic tradition of the Old Testament--sometimes translated into secular language--drove African American activists to unprecedented solidarity and self-sacrifice. Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, James Lawson, Modjeska Simkins, and other black leaders believed, as the Hebrew prophets believed, that they had to stand apart from society and instigate dramatic changes to force an unwilling world to abandon its sinful ways. Their impassioned campaign to stamp out'the sin of segregation'brought the vitality of a religious revival to their cause. Meanwhile, segregationists found little support within their white southern religious denominations. Although segregationists outvoted and outgunned black integrationists, the segregationists lost, Chappell concludes, largely because they did not have a religious commitment to their cause.

Abstract

Newspaper Coverage of Interethnic Conflict: Competing Visions of America examines mainstream and ethnic minority news coverage of interethnic conflicts in Miami, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Authors Hemant Shah and Michael C. Thornton investigate the role of news in racial formation, the place of ethnic minority media in the public sphere, and how these competing visions of America are part of ongoing social and political struggles to construct, define, and challenge the meanings of race and nation. The authors suggest that mainstream newspapers reinforce dominant racial ideology while e
