Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a main driver of economic growth and of social dynamics. However, some basic characteristics like the gender of the entrepreneur, the geographical location, or the social context may have a tremendous impact on the possibility to become an entrepreneur, to create a firm and to prosper. This book is a collection of papers written by an array of international authors interested in the question of entrepreneurship from a gender point of view (male vs female entrepreneurship), a geographical point of view (Africa, Europe, America and Latin America, Asia...) or a specific social context point of view (agricultural economy, farming or family business, etc.).
Discourses on Immigration in Times of Economic Crisis
The press is generally regarded as a reliable source of information, albeit with the capacity to propagate ideologies, social conceptions and beliefs. In this regard, it seems evident that the social role of the press can by no means be underestimated: it can influence our knowledge, values and social codes through linguistic and other semiotic means, sometimes hidden under a euphemistic lexical disguise holding up a liberal and apparently respectful discourse. Discourses on Immigration in Times of Economic Crisis examines the discursive and visual elements that are involved in reproducing ethnic and racial prejudices in contemporary press discourse. Our present reality is characterised by a moment of economic crisis, and it is a contention of the book that this affects the treatment of immigration, particularly in the press, which tends to refer to immigrants as a people-problem of some description or another. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to describe major aspects of discourse related to immigration within the present social context of the economic crisis.

Spanish Legacies
Much like the United States, the countries of Western Europe have experienced massive immigration in the last three decades. Spain, in particular, has been transformed from an immigrant-exporting country to one receiving hundreds of thousands of new immigrants. Today, almost 13 percent of the countryÕs population is foreign-born. Spanish Legacies, written by internationally known experts on immigration, explores how the children of immigrantsÑthe second generationÑare coping with the challenges of adaptation to Spanish society, comparing their experiences with those of their peers in the United States. Using a rich data set based on both survey and ethnographic material, Spanish Legacies ...

Transferts des savoirs, savoirs des pratiques
Issu d’un colloque organisé au Campus Saint-Jean (Université de l’Alberta) par le Groupe de recherche sur l’inter/transculturalité (GRITI), le présent ouvrage regroupe une série de textes conjuguant savoirs théoriques et savoirs pratiques dans une réflexion approfondie sur l’immigration et la cohabitation des cultures. Signés tant par des universitaires que des praticiens de terrain, ces textes montrent que le dialogue entre les producteurs de savoirs théoriques et de savoirs pratiques est non seulement fécond, mais aussi indispensable au fondement d’une société inclusive. La recherche se doit d’alimenter le travail de terrain et, inversement, celui-ci doit inspirer la réflexion des chercheurs. Structuré autour de trois thèmes majeurs (confluence des savoirs ; pratiques et expériences communautaires ; enfin, savoirs et pratiques en éducation), l’ouvrage cherche à stimuler la réflexion, l’échange et l’engagement de tous les acteurs confrontés, dans des contextes variétés, aux défis et aux opportunités de la diversité.
