The International Journal of Critical Diversity Studies addresses the key problematic of the construction of difference within intersecting, asymmetrical power relations. It brings together an integrated critique of hierarchical relations of privilege, domination and oppression on all axes of difference, with a particular focus on the normative orders of coloniality/modernity. A closely-knit, interdependent world struggling with the realities of heterogeneity calls for critical approaches to difference that can identify enduring and emerging processes of Othering, and articulate forms and means by which exclusion and hierarchical arrangements can be resisted and reframed. The journal therefore provides a decolonial anti-disciplinary intellectual forum in which plural, just, and ethical sociological imaginations can be cultivated and expanded.

Juifs et musulmans ont partagé en Algérie une longue histoire qui s'acheva en 1962 avec l'indépendance du pays. Si en 1954 on y comptait environ 130 000 juifs, il n'en reste presque plus aujourd'hui. Pourquoi cette coexistence a-t-elle pris fin ?Juifs et musulmans ont vécu ensemble les grands mouvements de l'histoire de l'Algérie : les débuts de l'islam et les rivalités entre dynasties au Moyen Âge, l'intégration à l'Empire ottoman entre le XVIe et le XIXe siècle, la colonisation française, les lois antijuives du régime de Vichy, la guerre d'Algérie enfin.Sans parti pris, Lucette Valensi s'attache à comprendre les relations que juifs et musulmans ont entretenues, faites de domination et de violences sur la minorité juive, mais aussi d'échanges et de paisible collaboration.

Many people in today's world work, learn and live in international and multicultural environments. Intercultural communication has hence become an important topic in many fields of work and study. Knowledge of cultures and cultural differences is however rarely sufficient in the current globalizing and complex world. In this book, interpersonal communication forms the point of departure: the meeting of people, not of cultures. From there onwards, the authors describe what diversity competence entails: which processes, challenges and skills are relevant in a 'superdiverse' world. The TOPOI model consequently offers an inclusive, communicative approach to analyze and address potential miscommunication. The book discusses relevant theory from several fields as well as many practical examples and guidelines. This book also has a companion website. Available on this website are: extra study assignments, extra case discussions and TOPOI cards.

Esta obra colectiva hace aportaciones significativas e inéditas a los estudios interculturales, en general, y a la educación intercultural, en particular. Se trata de un conjunto de estudios que ofrecen una panorámica latinoamericana muy bien diferenciada y con aportaciones comparativas que generan líneas de investigación futura. Por ello, considero que en breve puede convertirse en una importante obra de referencia a nivel internacional. (GUNTHER DIETZ) Se trata de una obra muy actual y relevante para el contexto latinoamericano. Es una apuesta por el trabajo con, en y desde las comunidades, lo que entra en relación con uno de los objetivos buscados como es entender la interculturalidad desde las bases. Su lectura es amena y considero que puede ser un aporte tanto para poder continuar con las investigaciones presentadas como para generar metodologías mucho más participativas y colaborativas en el campo, rompiendo con las clásicas visiones eurocéntricas objeto-sujeto. Por otra parte, el grado de compromiso que se trasluce en varios capítulos puede servir de motivación a científicos sociales que se están iniciando en el campo. (ELEDER PIÑEIRO).

"Interpreting Immigration at Museums and Historic Sites includes strategies for the design, implementation, marketing and sustaining of programs that help visitors use the lens of history to address contemporary immigration issues and provides case studies, immigration program designs, audience building strategies, among others. The title considers the questions: How can museums use their collections and key stories as starting points for audience engagement around immigration past and present? How can museums move beyond the "we are a nation of immigrants" narrative - a narrative that does not resonate for all audiences? How can museums make opportunities for safe, open dialogue on immigration accessible to all stakeholders including both new immigrants and receiving communities? Interpreting Immigration includes strategies for the design, implementation, marketing and sustaining of programs that help visitors use the lens of history to address contemporary immigration issues"--
