10 nouvelles pour rire, sourire ou grimacer
"C'est ainsi que j'observai davantage mon méticuleux voisin, lorsqu'il bricolait dans sa cour ou qu'il jardinait. Il le faisait avec une rare minutie, proche du ridicule pour moi qui n'étais qu'un bricoleur maladroit. Il se méfiait d'ailleurs beaucoup de mon voisinage et de mon jardin sauvage qu'il regardait avec un air désolé." Madeleine Covas réussit à merveille son pari de réunir dans un même recueil des nouvelles aux couleurs extrêmement variées. Entre humour, suspens ou encore conte, ces "10 nouvelles pour rire, sourire ou grimacer" abordent tantôt l'amour, tantôt la mort ou la folie avec le même succès. Après nombre d'ouvrages destinés à la jeunesse, l'auteur élargit ici son public pour notre plus grand plaisir.
Migration and Race in Europe
Migration and Race in Europe covers various facets of the interplay between migration and race in Europe. Over the past two decades there has been a growing public policy and political debate about questions linked to migration and refugee movements across the borders of Europe. This has been evident in countries such as the UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany that have had long-established experience with questions about immigration and race. But what has also become clear is that these debates have also become an established part of political and civil society discourses across both Southern and Eastern European societies and beyond. The contributions to this volume draw on the latest research in order to provide an insight into the changing dynamics of migration and race in a number of European societies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
