All people are equal, according to Thomas Jefferson, but all migrants are not. In this volume, twelve eminent scholars describe and analyse how in countries such as France, the United States, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark distinctions were made through history between migrants and how these were justified in policies and public debates. The chapters form a triptych, addressing in three clusters the problematisation of questions such as 'who is a refugee', 'who is family' and 'what is difference'. The chapters in this volume show that these are not separate issues. They intersect in ways that vary according to countries of origin and settlement, economic climate, geopolitical situation, as well as by gender, and by class, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation of the migrants.

Gender studies are a key lens through which education has been examined in the past forty years, having become an accepted and popular subfield in educational foundations studies. Moreover, scholars in gender and education have made tremendous contributions well beyond education, influencing humanities and social sciences scholars across the academy. Hearing the stories of these scholars—their development, education, important works, and thoughts on the future—offers unique insights into the genesis and growth of the field and gives new scholars an overview of advances made. Leaders in Gender and Education: Intellectual Self-Portrais does just that, showing the history of gender and education through the eyes of 16 of its leaders. By recounting their experiences and scholarly work, they trace the development of feminist and profeminist research on girls, on boys, and on the issues shaping both gender and education—issues like race, sexuality, neoliberalism, globalization, and more. Importantly, the volume has a global focus, including scholars from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This diversity gives readers a broad sense of the progress of gender scholarship in education around the world. Each essay provides students and researchers alike with not only background on the 16 scholars included, but also the lists of major works—chosen by contributors themselves—direct readers to some of the most important scholarship on gender and education. Taken together, further, the contributors’ thoughts on the future of the field provide glimpses of productive directions for studies of gender and education.

Ce livre s'ouvre sur un dîner romantique lors d'une chaude soirée de printemps entre deux mouches. Et si le lecteur se laisse prendre, c'est bien parce que ce ballet entre insectes n'est pas sans rappeler les comportements humains. La manière de s'accoupler génère en effet, chez toutes les espèces animales, des types d'économies particuliers. Analysant l'accouplement des punaises de lit aussi bien que les comportements des conseils d'administration, Paul Seabright, professeur de sciences économiques et chercheur, invite ses lecteurs à un fantastique voyage, de la préhistoire jusqu'aux compétitions actuelles imposées par l'économie de marché. Contre ceux qui considèrent que les inégalités entre hommes et femmes n'ont aucun finalement biologique et contre ceux qui à l'inverse, affirment que les différences entre sexes sont intangibles, il montre combien et comment les comportements archaïques ont laissé une empreinte en nous, inconsciente et complexe. Le contrôle des naissances et l'émancipation féminine vont-ils fondamentalement changer la donne et bouleverser l'économie humaine telle qu'elle existait jusqu'à présent ? La guerre des sexes n'est peut-être pas irrémédiable !
