Muslims in Europe-Overview OSI.MIE.MAIN.PF1-100209:Layout 1 2/9/2010 7:22 PM Page 1 AT HOME IN A Report on 11 EU Cities MUSLIMS IN EUROPE EUROPE Muslims in EUROPE Whether citizens or migrants, native born or newly-arrived, Muslims are a growing and varied population that presents Europe with challenges and opportunities. The crucial tests facing Europe’s commitment to open society will be how it treats minorities such as STOCKHOLM Muslims and ensures equal rights for all in a climate of rapidly expanding diversity. ★ The Open Society Institute’s At Home in Europe project is working to address these issues through monitoring and advocacy activities that examine the position of Muslims and other minorities in Europe. One of the project’s key efforts is this series of reports on COPENHAGEN Muslim communities in the 11 EU cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, ★ Hamburg, Leicester, London, Marseille, Paris, Rotterdam, and Stockholm. The reports aim to increase understanding of the needs and aspirations of diverse Muslim communities by HAMBURG AMSTERDAM examining how public policies in selected cities have helped or hindered the political, ★ LEICESTER ★ BERLIN social, and economic participation of Muslims. ★ ★ LONDON ★ ★ ROTTERDAM All 11 city reports, drafted by local experts, include detailed recommendations directed at ★ specific local actors; these will form the basis for advocacy activities by the project and its ANTWERP partners. The overview report has recommendations at the international level that will PARIS touch all countries covered by the reports and be directed primarily at the European Union ★ (EU) and other international organisations. By fostering new dialogue and policy initiatives between Muslim communities, local officials, and international policymakers, the At Home in Europe project seeks to improve the participation and inclusion of Muslims in the wider society while enabling them to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and religious practices that are important to their identities. ★ MARSEILLE OSI OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE muslim-publish+cimlap-2010-02-08:Layout 1 2010. 02. 08. 13:49 Page 1 Muslims in Europe A Report on 11 EU Cities At Home in Europe Project Open Society Institute New York – London – Budapest muslim-publish+cimlap-2010-02-08:Layout 1 2010. 02. 08. 13:49 Page 2 Publishing page OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE Október 6.

Open societies are characterized by the rule of law; respect for human rights, minorities, and a diversity of opinions; democratically elected governments; market economies in which business and government are separate; and a civil society that helps keep government power in check. To achieve our mission, we seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. We implement initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. We build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. Working in every part of the world, the Open Society Institute places a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.

Race and Ethnicity: What Are Their Roles in Gang Membership? NCJ 243474 Race and Ethnicity: What Are Their Roles in Gang Membership? Adrienne Freng and Terrance J. Taylor • The roles of race and ethnicity in gang membership are becoming increasingly complicated, and it is important to understand that the term gang membership is not “code” for race or ethnicity; the truth is that more and more gangs include white gang members and are becoming multiracial. • Different risk factors exist — and young people give different reasons — for gang-joining; how- ever, most risk factors cut across racial and ethnic lines, including the negative consequences associated with poverty, immigration, discrimination and social isolation, such as limited edu- cational opportunities, low parental monitoring and drug use. • To prevent gang-joining, resources should be used to revitalize deteriorating, poverty- stricken, racially/ethnically isolated communities. • We can act now on what we know about shared risk factors — such as poverty, immigration, discrimination and social isolation — to implement general prevention strategies and programs that are racially, ethnically and culturally sensitive while continuing to explore whether additional racially and ethnically specific gang-membership

  • Region of Origin Or Religion? Understanding Why Immigrants from Muslim-Majority Countries Are Discriminated Against in Western Europe
    Region of origin or religion? Understanding why immigrants from Muslim-majority countries are discriminated against in Western Europe Claire L. Adida∗ David D. Laitin† Marie-Anne Valfort‡ February 17, 2014 Abstract There is widespread evidence that immigrants from Muslim-majority countries are discriminated against in Western Europe, relative to immigrants from European Christian-majority countries. Yet, it is not clear whether this discrimination is based on religion (Muslim), region of origin (since the bulk of Muslim-majority countries are located in regions outside Europe), or both. Relying on European Social Survey data and an identification strategy that seeks to separate religion from region of origin, our findings indicate that religion rather than region of origin explains such discrimination.

  • Experiences of Race and Migration Among Brazilians in the Netherlands

Race is socially constructed and historically and contextually dependent, so this thesis looks at the ways in which race is lived by Brazilians in a new social and racial context. The study focuses on how this type of postcolonial migration (re)produces and (re)constructs racial meanings and identities, and how various axes of difference intersect in this process. Drawing upon 24 semi- structured interviews, the empirical analysis is divided into two parts. Visa Matters shows how race is invisible as a term, but present as a structuring notion, in immigration policies. Brazilian women moving to the country in a transnational relationship are subjected to strict and exclusionary controlling practices, which redefine the privilege and mobility they enjoyed in Brazil. At the same time, the different visa regimes re-inscribe and reinforce systems of privilege and inequality, not only among those applying for a ‘partner visa’, but especially among those migrating as highly skilled migrants or those holding dual citizenship, one of which is European.

Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man 1. The Criminal Type A remarkable number of US literature’s most recognizable criminals reside in mid-twentieth-century fiction. Between 1934 and 1958, James M. Cain gave us Frank Chambers and Walter Huff; Patricia Highsmith gave us Charles Bruno and Tom Ripley; Richard Wright gave us Bigger Thomas and Cross Damon; Jim Thompson gave us Lou Ford and Doc McCoy; Dorothy B. Hughes gave us Dix Steele. Many other once-estimable authors of the middle decades of the century—like Horace McCoy, Vera Caspary, Charles Willeford, and Willard Motley—wrote novels centrally concerned with what it felt like to be a criminal. What, it is only natural to wonder, was this midcentury preoccupation with crime all about? Consider what midcentury crime fiction was not about: detec- tives. Although scholars of twentieth-century US literature often use the phrases crime fiction and detective fiction interchangeably, the detective and the criminal were, by midcentury, the anchoring pro- tagonists of two distinct genres. While hardboiled detectives contin- ued to dominate the literary marketplace of pulp magazines and paperback originals in the 1940s and 1950s, they were soon accom- panied on the shelves by a different kind of crime fiction, which was *Theodore Martin is Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of Contemporary Drift: Genre, Historicism, and the Problem of the Present (Columbia UP, 2017).

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.
