The Politics of Recognizing Difference: Multiculturalism Italian-styleR. D. Grillo, Jeff C. Pratt Despite the fact that this book was written before the 2001 Italian general elections, the basic issues regarding multiculturalism and immigration policy undoubtedly remain of how Italians and immigrants view each other, and how the Italian form of pluralism differs, for example, from Scandinavia's. Convinced that social scientists can contribute to the sociopolitical agenda regarding difference, Grillo and Pratt (anthropology, U. of Sussex, UK) introduce 14 papers by European scholars offering case studies of topics including: racism under Italian fascism; immigrant participation in leftist politics; official, alternative, and media presentations of immigrants; local policies regarding female domestics; and Italian and Senegalese-Muslim perceptions of each other. Includes a politico-institutional map of Bologna. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
