Immigration et travail aux Etats-Unis

Immigration et travail aux Etats-Unis

Publication | Critiques

Résumé

Ces essais s’efforcent de mettre en miroir deux vagues migratoires aux Etats-Unis, aux tournants des XXe et XXIe siècle. Ils mettent en perspective une histoire souvent controversée et permettent d’appréhender les débats actuels sur l’immigration.

Sont abordées : les mobilisations politiques et syndicales des Italiens d’hier, des Hispaniques d’aujourd’hui ; l’insertion de certains groupes dans la globalisation ; l’ombre portée des idéologies nativistes sur les politiques d’immigration.

Critiques

• “This important volume from an authoritative international team of authors sheds significant new light on the comparative development of post-war Conservatism in the western world.”
  – Stuart Ball, Professor Emeritus, University of Leicester, UK
• “The rich essays collected in this illuminating volume show that the rise of right-wing politics in the United Kingdom, the United States, and France since the 1970s was a remarkably transnational phenomenon. As they attacked social democracy and cultural pluralism, right-wing movements borrowed ideas, visions, vocabularies, and tactics from each other, adapting them to their own national idioms and using advances in one country to win advances elsewhere. Anyone interested in confronting the problems that have proliferated in the wake the right’s reconfiguration of politics – surging inequality, belligerent ethno-nationalism, worker disempowerment and insecurity, and lost faith in the capacity for democratic self-government – has much to learn about the origins of these problems from this important book.”
