Exploring the neglected reality of ethnic radio in Paris and Berlin, Voicing Diasporas examines how Muslim minorities of North African descent in France and Germany challenge bounded narratives and laws of cultural citizenship in both countries. Through an analysis of Beur FM in Paris and Radio Multikulti in Berlin, this book also questions the reductionist view of diasporic media as expressions of longing, nostalgia, and cultural dislocation.

Dans cet essai philosophique et dialectique, le professeur Marcien Towa esquisse une odyssée de la raison: il croit fermement à la puissance de la raison humaine et, par le fait même, démontre la spécificité de la philosophie: elle est, par essence, critique de la raison et sa mise en oeuvre effective pour ouvrir de nouveaux horizons de liberté, d'autonomie personnelle, sociale, politique et économique. La primauté et l'universalité de l'intelligence comme principes dynamiques de changement, de dépassement jusqu'à l'infini, sont affirmés. Aussi l'auteur, qui a marqué la pensée africaine dans les années 1970 et 1980, porte-t-il, en tant que philosophe, une critique radicale à tout ce qui frise l'ethnophilosophie, la superstition, le racialisme et les mouvements culturalistes de la négritude.

Viewing Iraq from the outside is made easier by compartmentalising its people (at least the Arabs among them) into Shi'as and Sunnis. But can such broad terms, inherently resistant to accurate quantification, description and definition, ever be a useful reflection of any society? If not, are we to discard the terms 'Shi'a' and 'Sunni' in seeking to understand Iraq? Or are we to deny their relevance and ignore them when considering Iraqi society? How are we to view the common Iraqi injunction that 'we are all brothers' or that 'we have no Shi'as and Sunnis' against the fact of sectarian civil war in 2006? Are they friends or enemies? Are they united or divided; indeed, are they Iraqis or are they Shi'as and Sunnis? Fanar Haddad provides the first comprehensive examination of sectarian relations and sectarian identities in Iraq. Rather than treating the subject by recourse to broad-based categorisation, his analysis recognises the inherent ambiguity of group identity. The salience of sectarian identity and views towards self and other are neither fixed nor constant; rather, they are part of a continuously fluctuating dynamic that sees the relevance of sectarian identity advancing and receding according to context and to wider socioeconomic and political conditions. What drives the salience of sectarian identity? How are sectarian identities negotiated in relation to Iraqi national identity and what role do sectarian identities play in the social and political lives of Iraqi Sunnis and Shi'as? These are some of the questions explored in this book with a particular focus on the two most significant turning points in modern Iraqi sectarian relations: the uprisings of March 1991 and the fall of the Ba'ath in 2003. Haddad explores how sectarian identities are negotiated and seeks finally to put to rest the alarmist and reductionist accounts that seek either to portray all things Iraqi in sectarian terms or to reduce sectarian identity to irrelevance.

La discriminacion es un proceso que puede ocurrir en distintas circunstancias o mercados y basarse en diferentes caracteristicas tales como la raza, el grupo etnico o el genero. Los capitulos del presente libro presentan una variedad de intentos por detectar y medir la discriminacion contra la mujer y las minorias demograficas en America Latina e identificar algunos de los mecanismos a traves de los cuales esta tiene lugar. Se adoptan una variedad de herramientas metodologicas para explorar el grado de penetracion de la discriminacion como el analisis de regresion, las pruebas de mercado, los experimentos, los estudios de auditoria y los metodos estructurales. El conjunto de evidencia aqui presentado es diverso. Si bien muchos resultados parecen estar de acuerdo con las creencias y percepciones populares del latinoamericano promedio, otros cuestionan estas opiniones y sugieren diferentes vias a traves de las cuales puede ocurrir la discriminacion. El grado al cual alguna de esta evidencia construida cientificamente cuestiona las percepciones populares, crea una oportunidad ad para una discusion fructifera sobre la discriminacion y sus mecanismos en America Latina.
