The Mellah of Marrakesh
" The Mellah of Marrakesh] captures the vibrancy of Jewish society in Marrakesh in the tumultuous last decades prior to colonial rule and in the first decades of life in the colonial era. Although focused on the Jewish community, it offers a compelling portrait of the political, social, and economic issues confronting all of Morocco and sets a new standard for urban social history." --Dale F. Eickelman Weaving together threads from Jewish history and Islamic urban studies, The Mellah of Marrakesh situates the history of what was once the largest Jewish quarter in the Arab world in its proper historical and geographical contexts. Although framed by coverage of both earlier and later periods, the book focuses on the late 19th century, a time when both the vibrancy of the mellah and the tenacity of longstanding patterns of inter-communal relations that took place within its walls were being severely tested. How local Jews and Muslims, as well as resident Europeans lived the big political, economic, and social changes of the pre- and early colonial periods is reconstructed in Emily Gottreich's vivid narrative. Published with the generous support of the Koret Foundation.

Quand les retraités partent en vacances
De plus en plus, les retraités partent en vacances et font des voyages. Mais que signifie prendre des vacances à cet âge de la vie ? Comment est-il possible d'être, à la fois, « à la retraite » et « en vacances » ? Ce livre interroge la place que les vacances occupent dans l'existence de ceux qui, n'ayant plus d'activité professionnelle, doivent structurer par eux-mêmes leur temps libre. Il retrace de quelle manière les retraités, au fur et à mesure qu'ils vieillissent, transforment leurs pratiques de vacances. Il se demande dans quelle mesure les voyages organisés permettent de nouer des liens durables et s'ils peuvent constituer un catalyseur du lien social. Fruit d'une vas...
Vie de Léopold Sédar Senghor. Noir, Français et Africain
La biographie de Senghor éclaire aussi bien notre compréhension de l'Afrique des indépendances et de ses dirigeants que l'histoire intellectuelle et littéraire de la France et des Afro-Américains. Janet Vaillant souligne les liens entre l'expérience personnelle de Senghor, son oeuvre politique, sa poésie et les effets de son idéologie politique sur la construction de l'Etat au Sénégal. Elle nous propose également une réflexion sur le contexte plus large de son oeuvre, sa dette et sa contribution à la pensée et à la littérature noire en France et en Amérique et sur son importance comme dirigeant d'un peuple colonisé cherchant à définir de nouveaux rapports avec l'Occident industrialisé.
Immigrants and the Formation of Community
"The United States has experienced, since the mid-60's, a new wave of immigration comparable in importance to the mass migration of the turn of the century. It is a significant population influx which, as its predecessor, will shape the character of the country in the future. However, the more recent arrivals are very different from the "huddled masses" who came to this country in the early part of this century and the society receiving them has also undergone significant transformations. Yet, images of immigrants and the concepts used to evoke their encounter with the new environment have remained very much the same. The present work attempts to provide a different approach to the study of the immigrants' response to this encounter by looking at their process of transformation from immigrants to ethnics."--Introduction.
