Anthias,Floya & Lazaridis,Gabriella
Gender and Migration in Southern Europe : Women on the Move
The important role women play in the process of migration to the Western bloc, and in particular to Southern Europe where they often find jobs in the domestic service, tourist or sex industries, has been increasingly recognized. This timely book provides essential new insights into the forms of migration and the impact of gender relations on the migration and accommodation process, and also raises general conceptual issues about ways of understanding migration in a global context. At a time when all the member states of the European Union have called for a reduction in immigration in response to its steady growth, the urgency of the topic is apparent. Contributors examine the possible legal, social and economic problems that increased immigration may produce, including: female migration and its relation to changing gender relations in the country of migration; different forms of exclusion faced by male and female migrants; working conditions and status; migrant networks; and women's role in reproducing and maintaining ethnic culture.This book will be essential reading for courses in migration, nationalism, Mediterranean and area studies, gender studies and a range of social science courses. It will also be of use to policy makers and those interested in European developments. INCLUDES Introduction: Women on the Move in Southern Europe Floya Anthias and Gabriella Lazaridis /Metaphors of Home: Gendering New Migrations to southern Europe Floya Anthias /Filipino and Albanian Women Migrant Workers in Greece: Multiple Layers of Oppression Gabriella Lazaridis /The Making of Periphractic Spaces: The Case of Albanian Undocumented Female Migrants in the Sex Industry of Athens Iordannis Psimmenos /Female Migrants in Italy: Coping in a Country of New Migration Victoria Chell /Migrant Women in Italy: National Trends and Local Perspectives Marina Orsini-Jones and Francesca Gattullo /Organizing Domestic Workers in Italy: The Challenge of Gender, Class and Ethnicity Jacqueline Andall /Female Birds of Passage: Leaving and Settling in Spain Natalia Ribas-Mateos /The Position and Status of Migrant Women in Spain Angeles Escrivyy /Trading Intimacy for Liberty: British Women on the Costa del Sol Karen O'Reilly .Index Book

The Tyranny of Greece Over Germany
"A study of the influence exercised by Greek art and poetry over German writers of the 18th.19th. and 20th centuries" Originally published in 1935, this book provides a study of the powerful influence exercised by Ancient Greek culture on German writers from the eighteenth century onwards. The text takes as its starting point Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-68), who was of fundamental importance to the introduction of Hellenistic ideas within the German intellectual tradition. This is followed by a chronological discussion of other key figures, such as Goethe, Schiller and Heine, revealing the complicated relationship between these ideas and the expression of an explicitly Germanic identity. A detailed index and bibliography are also included, together with illustrative fig351p. bibliography. index Vintage copy clean and tght, paper wraps slightly shelf worn. Book

Salazar, Philippe-Joseph
An African Athens: Rhetoric and the Shaping of Democracy in South Africa (Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society Series)
An African Athens offers an analysis of a new ecology of rhetoric--the reshaping of a nation into a democracy through rhetorical means. Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar provides a general view of issues as they have taken shape in the apartheid and post-apartheid South African experience, presenting the country as a remarkable stage for playing out the great themes of public deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy. Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in public deliberation. This volume presents a full-scale rhetorical analysis of a democratic transformation in post-Cold War era, and provides a study of the demise of apartheid and post-apartheid from the standpoint of political and public rhetoric and communication. In doing so, it serves as a template for similar enquiries in the rhetorical study of emerging democracies. Intended for readers engaged in the study of political and public rhetoric with an interest in how democracy takes shape, An African Athens highlights South Africa as a test case for global democracy, for rhetoric, and for the relevance of rhetoric studies in a postmodern democracy. 226p. illus indexu Book
