Overcoming Passion examines the passion for race in contemporary Malaysia. Broadly the essays look at the disjunction between the falsity of race as a scientific category and the entrenched belief that race determines one's rightful identity. They probe the ways in which individual minds and institutions of power fail or refuse to recognise and act in accordance with the knowledge that race exists only insofar as its existence is sustained by the believer's belief in it. The contributors draw from a burgeoning but under-examined archive of Malaysia-related social texts, ranging from media and technological discourse, popular culture and literary production to historical writings, produced originally in English, Malay and Mandarin Chinese.

Dans la structuration des rapports sociaux par les processus identitaires, la "race" occupe une place particulière. Catégoriser et situer les individus dans l'échelonnement des prestiges ou des pouvoirs à partir de leur apparence physique ou de leur ascendance, n'est pas chose évidente, même si la marque utilisée semble naturelle et s'imposer d'elle-même. Le classement des individus, et a fortiori leur hiérarchisation les uns par rapport aux autres, impliquent en fait deux dispositifs successifs : le premier, d'ordre cognitif, utilise l'apparence et/ou l'ascendance comme signes distinctifs ; le second, d'ordre idéologique, installe à partir de cette distinction préalable un ordre discriminant. D'où vient cette superposition, et quelle est sa finalité ? Les attendus généraux de la notion de race sont examinés dans un premier temps (en matière de perception, de catégorisations, de représentations de l'hérédité et de naturalisation de la différence) ; le cas exemplaire de la colorisation coloniale de la société est ensuite décrit (liens entre l'esclavagisme et le développement du préjugé, autonomisation de la "race" à partir des contradictions mêmes du système, ligne de couleur et catégories de métissage...). Une attention particulière est portée à la rémanence du biologique par rapport aux évolutions sociales, du fait des propriétés mêmes d'un référent inscrit dans l'hérédité, qui contribue à cristalliser l'ordre social originel : la remarquable vitalité des catégorisations raciales s'en trouve ainsi éclairée. Mots-clefs : catégories de métissage, esclavagisme, idéologie, préjugé de couleur, race.

Aim: To explore experiences with professional services among parents of disabled children in contact with Childrens Habilitation Department in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional survey among parents, who's children received services from the Childrens Habilitation Department during one year, was done. MPOC-20 NO, a questionnaire developed for this target group and translated into norwegian, was used. It consists of five factors: enabling/partnership, general information, spesific information, co-ordinated/comprehensive care and respectful/supportive care. Each factor consists of 3 - 5 questions. Results: The respons rate was 54,5%, parents of children with severe disabilities were overrepresented. Thus the results should be interpreted with care. The mean score on general information was lower than on other factors. The mean scores in Nord-Trøndelag was generally lower than in Canada, but about the same as results from Uppsala, Sweden. Parents of children under 6 years had better experiences than parents with older children. Parents with children with minor disabilities were more satisfied than others. Parents under 36 years and mothers had better experiences than older parents and fathers. Parents living together with their child less than 11 days/month were less satisfied than others. Having a key worker and/or an individual service plan made a positive difference on information factors, but not on the other factors. Conclusion: The answers showed that certain areas and qualities of the departments service should be better developed and some groups of parents should get a service delivery more fitted to their needs. Other methods should be considered to recruite parents and collect anwers to ensure a higher response rate. Formål: Å undersøke foreldreerfaringer med tjenester fra Habiliteringstjenesten for barn i Nord-Trøndelag, Norge. Metode: Det ble gjort en deskriptiv tverrsnittsundersøkelse blant foreldre, hvis barn fikk tjenester fra avdelingen i en periode på et år. MPOC-20 NO, et spørreskjema spesielt utviklet for målgruppen og oversatt til norsk, ble brukt. Det inneholder fem faktorer: dyktiggjøring og parterskap, generell informasjon, spesifikk informasjon, helhetlige og koordinerte tjenester og respektfull og støttende omsorg. Det er 3-5 spørsmål innen hver faktor. Resultater: Svarprosenten ble 54,4% og foreldre til barn med større funksjonsvansker var overrepresentert blant svarene. Resultatene bør derfor tolkes med forsiktighet. Resultatene viste at gjennomsnittskår på generell informasjon var lavere enn på de andre faktorene. Gjennomsnittsskår i Nord-Trøndelag var lavere enn resultater fra Canada, men lik resultater fra Uppsala, Sverige. Foreldre til barn under 6 år hadde bedre erfaringer enn foreldre med eldre barn. Foreldre til barn med mindre funksjonsvansker ga bedre tilbakemeldinger. Foreldre under 36 år og mødre hadde bedre erfaringer enn eldre foreldre og fedre. Foreldre som bodde mindre enn 11 dager/mnd sammen med barnet hadde lavere tilfredshet. Å ha en individuell plan og/eller koordinator utgjorde en positiv forskjell på informasjonsområdet, men ikke på de andre faktorene. Konklusjon: Svarene viste at visse områder og kvaliteter ved avdelingens tjenester burde videreutvikles og noen grupper av foreldre burde få et tjenestetilbud bedre tilpasset deres behov. Det bør vurderes andre metoder for rekruttering til spørreundersøkelse og innhenting av svar fra målgruppen for å sikre høyere svarprosent.
