Migration Control in the North Atlantic World
The migration movements of the 20th century have led to an increased interest in similarly dramatic population changes in the preceding century. The contributors to this volume - legal scholars, sociologists, political scientist and historians - focus on migration control in the 19th century, concentrating on three areas in particular: the impact of the French Revolution on the development of modern citizenship laws and on the development of new forms of migration control in France and elsewhere; the theory and practice of migration control in various European states is examined, focusing on the control of paupers, emigrants and "ordinary" travelers as well as on the interrelationship between the different administrative levels - local, regional and national - at which migration control was exercised. Finally, on the development of migration control in two countries of immigration: the United States and France. Taken altogether, these essays demonstrate conclusively that the image of the 19th century as a liberal era during which migration was unaffected by state intervention is untenable and in serious need of revision.
Getting Wise about Getting Old
A grey tsunami is sweeping the land, wreaking social and financial havoc in its wake. Sound familiar? This myth about aging, along with twenty-eight others, is the focus of Getting Wise about Getting Old, which paints a far more accurate and nuanced portrait of old age. In it, experts debunk myths and persistent stereotypes about aging on a broad array of social issues – from retirement (seniors are low-performance workers) to housing (most older adults live in long-term care accommodation), and violence (senior women are not victims of sexual assault) to political participation (seniors are conservative and resistant to change) – deconstructing and countering them with the latest findings. The work of two leading research groups in Quebec, the short and accessible chapters of this vitally important book contribute to a better understanding of the social challenges, as well as the advantages, of an aging society.

Les vieillissements sous la loupe : Entre mythes et réalités
Le vieillissement de la population est souvent traité, dans les discours politiques et médiatiques, comme une catastrophe démographique, un lourd fardeau social ou financier pour la société. La vieillesse dérange, étant perçue la plupart du temps comme l'opposé de la jeunesse, de la modernité, de la beauté, de l'efficacité, de la productivité, de la rapidité, de l'utilité sociale, de l'autonomie, entre autres. Les représentations négatives et les mythes sur le vieillissement influencent les rapports intergénérationnels et les perceptions sociétales des enjeux politiques. Les mythes et représentations négatives ont aussi des impacts directs sur les orientations et politi...
