Abstract

"Depuis quatorze siècles, et particulièrement depuis les attentats de ces dernières années, une vue très critique des Musulmans s'est développée en Occident. Et réciproquement. Beaucoup d'Occidentaux voient les Musulmans empêtrés dans leur archaïsme et rattrapés par la modernité, d'où leurs réactions violentes, mais vouées à l'échec. Beaucoup de Musulmans répondent qu'ils sont croyants et qu'analyser leur foi, c'est déjà les attaquer. Vu d'Occident, cette réaction est irritante (on étudie bien le catholicisme), mais à la rigueur compréhensible. Le problème est que certains sacralisent de simples rites sociaux, veulent les imposer, et considèrent comme hostile ou impie toute idée différente. Ils se sentent agressés et dénoncent une animosité croissante envers l'Islam. On voit donc l'importance des regards réciproques et la nécessité de leur analyse. Il nous faut donc revisiter l'histoire, car, vraie ou fausse, c'est elle qui structure la vision du monde et donc la réaction à 'l'Autre'. Nous n'entrons donc pas dans le domaine de la foi : il ne s'agit pas de parler de l'Islam mais des Musulmans, ces hommes et ces femmes qui sont nos voisins, du Maroc à l'Iran." --

Abstract

In her provocative new book Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music, Nadine Hubbs looks at how class and gender identity play out in one of America's most culturally and politically charged forms of popular music. Skillfully weaving historical inquiry with an examination of classed cultural repertoires and close listening to country songs, Hubbs confronts the shifting and deeply entangled workings of taste, sexuality, and class politics. In Hubbs's view, the popular phrase "I'll listen to anything but country" allows middle-class Americans to declare inclusive "omnivore" musical tastes with one crucial exclusion: country, a music linked to low-status whites. Throughout Rednecks, Queers, and Country Music, Hubbs dissects this gesture, examining how provincial white working people have emerged since the 1970's as the face of American bigotry, particularly homophobia, with country music their audible emblem. Bringing together the redneck and the queer, Hubbs challenges the conventional wisdom and historical amnesia that frame white working folk as a perpetual bigot class. With a powerful combination of music criticism, cultural critique, and sociological analysis of contemporary class formation, Nadine Hubbs zeroes in on flawed assumptions about how country music models and mirrors white working-class identities. She particularly shows how dismissive, politically loaded middle-class discourses devalue country's manifestations of working-class culture, politics, and values, and render working-class acceptance of queerness invisible. Lucid, important, and thought-provoking, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of American music, gender and sexuality, class, and pop culture.

Abstract

"Through a sociological analysis of Hmong former refugees' grassroots movements in the United States between the 1990s and 2000s, Immigrant Agency shows how Hmong, despite being one of America's most economically impoverished ethnic groups, were able to make sustained claims on and have their interests represented in public policies. The author, Yang Sao Xiong argues that the key to understanding how immigrants incorporate themselves politically is to understand how they mobilize collective action and make choices in circumstances far from racially neutral. Immigrant groups, in response to political threats or opportunities or both, mobilize collective action and make strategic choices about how to position themselves vis-à-vis other minority groups, how to construct group identities, and how to deploy various tactics in order to engage with the U.S. political system and influence policy. In response to immigrants' collective claims, the racial state engages in racialization which undermines immigrants' political standing and perpetuates their marginalization"--
