Migrants, Minorities & Health
Author: Lara Marks
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134832060
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
How has twentieth-century medicine dealt with immigrants and minorities? The contributors to Migrants, Minorities and Health have studied a number of different types of migrant and minority groups from different societies around the world in order to examine the complex relations between health issues and ideas of ethnicity and race. The collection explores the historical origins and the contemporary power of stereotypical views—of immigrants as importers of disease, for instance, or of minorities as a source of infection in the host society. The authors show how ideas of ethnicity and race have shaped, and in turn have been influenced by, the construction of medical ideas. Challenging our common assumptions about migrants, minorities and health, this collection brings together new perspectives from a variety of disciplines. It will make fascinating reading for social historians, medical historians and social policy makers.

Awakening Minorities
Author: John R. Howard
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412817783
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This new, entirely revamped edition of the immensely popular reader Awakening Minorities, published in 1970, provides a status report on these social groups. What has a decade meant to them? How have changes in the sociopolitical and economic environments affected the ways in which these groups pursue their objectives? In his new and thoughtful introductory essay to this second edition John Howard provides a historical context for the articles appearing in this volume. The issues of the 1980s are different from those of the 1960s, and for these articles to be fully understood they have to be placed against the broad unfolding of race issues, problems, and dilemmas in American history. The recent economic situation has produced an analytic framework less hospitable to public investment in meliorative programs for minority groups. The presence of large numbers of new immigrants-- Koreans, Philippines, and Indians--interested in entrepreneurialindependence is contrasted with the problems of the older minority groups.

Educating Immigrant Children
Author: Charles L. Glenn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136788417
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 758
Book Description
This study is concerned with the ways in which a dozen " knowledge-based societies" of Western Europe and the English-speaking world respond to unprecedented cultural and linguistic diversity resulting from the flow of immigrants and refugees since World War II. It asks how public policy has sought to use schooling to minimize the potentially divisive and inequitable effects of this diversity and to provide opportunities to the children of immigrants. It asks also how the nature of each of these societies affects the meaning of integration into each of them.

The Intercultural City
Author: Giovanna Marconi
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 085772830X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The resulting cultural differences can often create problems and conflict. In Europe alone, the sheer scale of migration is forcing the issue to the top of the political agenda. The Intercultural City brings together scholars from a range of disciplines - including urban studies, geography, planning, sociology, political science and spatial design - to explore both the failings of existing policies to manage diversity and to examine how one might begin to create ways to remove obstacles and enhance the integration of migrants and minorities. Combining fresh theoretical insights with studies from cities in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, The Intercultural City offers a timely and important contribution to the challenge of managing diversity in the city of the twenty-first century.
