« Août 2014. Un château célèbre, une maison de retraite qui ferme, des archives qui s'ouvrent. Une épaisse liasse composée de petites fiches attrape le regard. On y lit : « Buveur impénitent », « impulsif et violent », « malade mentale », « insulte au personnel », « trublion de la pire espèce », « à ne jamais reprendre ». Ces formules expéditives stigmatisent des centaines de pensionnaires étant partis, volontairement ou non, entre 1956 et 1980. L'historienne fait surgir de cette source les pratiques gestionnaires d'une institution en charge de personnes âgées, les scandales de la vie d'hospice, mais aussi une galerie de portraits, des trajectoires singulières, toutes marquées par les guerres et les crises du XXe siècle. Le fichier de Villers-Cotterêts permet d'entrer de plain-pied dans une histoire discordante de l'État social et de mettre en lumière la persistance de la disqualification des vieux pauvres. Qui sont ces femmes et ces hommes âgés qui ont suffisamment dérangé pour susciter un dispositif disciplinaire de papier spécifique pendant plus de vingt ans ? Quelle histoire nous livre l'administration de ces « indésirables » ?. »--Quatrième de couverture.

"In contemporary South Africa, power no longer maps neatly onto race. While white South Africans continue to enjoy considerable power at the top levels of industry, they have become a demographic minority, politically subordinate to the black South African population. To be white today means having to adjust to a new racial paradigm. In this book, Jacob Boersema argues that this adaptation requires nothing less than unlearning racism: confronting the shame of a racist past, acknowledging privilege, and, to varying degrees, rethinking notions of nationalism. Drawing on more than 150 interviews with a cross-section of white South Africans--representationally diverse in age, class, and gender--Boersema details how they understand their whiteness and depicts the limits and possibilities of individual, and collective, transformation. He reveals that the process of unlearning racism entails dismantling psychological and institutional structures alike, all of which are inflected by emotion and shaped by ideas of culture and power. Can We Unlearn Racism? pursues a question that should be at the forefront of every societys collective consciousness. Theoretically rich and ethnographically empathetic, this book offers valuable insights into the broader sociological process of unlearning, relevant today to communities all around the world"--

"Offering the overlooked but essential viewpoint of young people from low-income communities of color and their public schools, Planning Cities with Young People and Schools offers an urgently needed set of best practice recommendations for urban planners to change the status quo and reimagine the future of our cities for and with young people. Working with more than 10,000 students over two decades from the San Francisco Bay Area, to New York, to Tohoku, Japan, this work produces a wealth of insights on issues ranging from environmental planning, housing, transportation, regional planning, and urban education. Part I presents a theory of change for planning more equitable, youth-friendly cities by cultivating intergenerational communities of practice where young people work alongside city planners and adult professionals. Part II explores youth engagement in resilience, housing, and transportation planning through an analysis of literature and international examples of engaging children and youth in city planning. Finally, Part III speaks directly to practitioners, scholars, and students alike, presenting "Six Essentials for Planning Just and Joyful Cities" as necessary precursors to effective city planning with and for our most marginalized, children, youth, and public schools. For academics, policy makers and practitioners, this book raises the importance of education systems and young people as critical to urban planning and the future of our cities"--
