Språk både speglar och formar samhällen, och präglar verkligheten för alla som verkar i dem. Denna grundsats inom sociolingvistik, studiet av språk i ett socialt sammanhang, är viktig för denna bok. I fokus står Sveriges nationella minoritetsspråk - finska, jiddisch, meänkieli, romani chib och samiska - samt svenskt teckenspråk som också har lagskydd inom svensk språklagstiftning.Författarna lyfter fram vardagens språkliga praktiker som ett angreppssätt för att förstå den levda erfarenheten av språkpolitik. Men de beskriver också de historiska processer som lett till dagens situation för de nationella minoritetsspråken. Hur har villkoren kommit att förändras för deras talare? Hur upplever de sin förmåga och möjlighet att använda sina språk? Och hur gör sig historien påmind i nuet? Boken är avsedd för utbildningar som anlägger sociolingvistiska perspektiv på flerspråkighet. Inte minst är den en viktig resurs för lärarstudenter och lärare i arbetet med att förmedla uppdaterad kunskap om nationella minoriteter och deras språk.Kenneth Hyltenstam, professor emeritus i tvåspråkighetsforskning vid Stockholms universitet, medverkar med ett omfattande efterord.

A major new look at the work of one of America’s foremost self-taught artistsBill Traylor (ca. 1853–1949) came to art-making on his own and found his creative voice without guidance; today he is remembered as a renowned American artist. Traylor was born into slavery on an Alabama plantation, and his experiences spanned multiple worlds—black and white, rural and urban, old and new—as well as the crucibles that indelibly shaped America—the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Great Migration. Between Worlds presents an unparalleled look at the work of this enigmatic and dazzling artist, who blended common imagery with arcane symbolism, narration with abstraction, and personal vision with the beliefs and folkways of his time.Traylor was about twelve when the Civil War ended. After six more decades of farm labor, he moved, aging and alone, into segregated Montgomery. In the last years of his life, he drew and painted works depicting plantation memories and the rising world of African American culture. Upon his death he left behind over a thousand pieces of art. Between Worlds convenes 205 of his most powerful creations, including a number that have been previously unpublished. This beautiful and carefully researched book assesses Traylor’s biography and stylistic development, and for the first time interprets his scenes as ongoing narratives, conveying enduring, interrelated themes.Between Worlds reveals one man’s visual record of African American life as a window into the overarching story of his nation.Published in association with the Smithsonian American Art Museum

“An extraordinary recovery of a lost world.”—Peter Brown, author of The World of Late AntiquityFrom the world-leading expert on the Maya, a monumental history of a flourishing civilization across three millenniaThe Four Heavens brings to life the cultural and visual splendor of the ancient Maya, drawing on the oldest indigenous texts of the Americas and the latest archaeological discoveries to present an entirely new history of this spectacular civilization. Renowned historian and archaeologist David Stuart, who has made groundbreaking contributions to the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics, shows how there was no single rise and fall of the Maya but a series of births and collapses over a breathtaking span of nearly three millennia.Maya history was seemingly lost forever when the first Europeans encountered the great ruins of ancient cities in what is today Mexico and Central America. Today, with the recent decipherment of their ancient writings, the story of the Maya can now be told from their perspective. Stuart traces the rapid emergence of permanent settlements in the rainforest, which gave rise to monumental architecture and a flourishing urbanism and ushered in the Classic period of Maya civilization beginning in the mid-second century CE. He reveals a world of majestic royal courts tightly bound together by marriages, shifting alliances, and warfare, much of it driven by the ambitions of two major dynasties, the Kanuls and Mutuls. Stuart describes how the long-standing rivalry between these two great houses shaped the fates of the surrounding kingdoms and may have set the stage for “the Great Rupture” of the ninth century, when the royal courts buckled under the weight of internal strife, social unrest, and environmental crisis, transforming Maya civilization yet again.With stunning illustrations, including many of Stuart’s own drawings and images, The Four Heavens is a work of momentous historical sweep, one that paints an unforgettable portrait of the Maya and the richly complex social, political, and cosmological worlds in which they lived.Available in Spanish from our partners at Grupo Planeta

WINNER OF THE SOCCER BOOK AWARD GRAND PRIZEArsenal is special. Its multicultural fandom reflects a changing city and a unique relationship with Black British popular culture. Thanks to its decades of fielding iconic Black players on the pitch and the storied and diverse histories of its terraces, Arsenal has emerged as a powerful symbol of what an organic and convivial multiculture can be.From the earliest hints in the late 1960s that something remarkable was happening, up to Arsenal's ascendence as a global organisation, Black Arsenal is the first dedicated exploration of the club's relationship to contemporary Black identity and culture. It sees the club's affinity with Black identity transcend football and spread across cultures: in the media, music, fashion, politics and everyday social experiences. Explored through a combination of stunning photography and rare archival images, Black Arsenal examines how a new Black iconography emerged at Arsenal at key moments in British history that became crucial to the creation of new forms of Black identification.With contributions including former legends Ian Wright and Paul Davis, critical appraisals from Paul Gilroy, Gail Lewis and Clive Chijioke Nwonka, and personal responses from Clive Palmer, Ezra Collective, Amy Lawrence and others, Black Arsenal encounter the moments, stories and experiences of how Arsenal became an important and underexamined feature of modern Black British culture and identity.

'A hymn of love to the world ... A journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, LoveAs a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings - asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass - offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Det krävdes inga arméer för att erövra samernas land. Det räckte med fogdar och ämbetsmän. De fick agera egenmäktigt med statens goda minne. Sedan gjordes godtycket till lag och förordning.
Historikern Lennart Lundmark har ägnat decennier åt forskning om den svenska statens politik gentemot samerna från 1500-talet och framåt. Han har grävt djupt i arkiven och avslöjar hur övergreppen mot samerna egentligen gick till.
Samerna behandlades relativt bra fram till slutet av 1700-talet men senare berövades de sina gamla rättigheter och kronan lade beslag på deras marker. Den svenska samepolitiken bär på ett skuldtyngt historiskt arv. Liksom många andra ursprungsfolk har samerna blivit en minoritet på de marker som en gång var deras.
Men trycket utifrån ökar. FN:s kommitté mot rasdiskriminering och Europarådets kommission för mänskliga rättigheter är skarpa i sin kritik av Sveriges behandling av samerna. I andra demokratiska länder får ursprungsbefolkningarna starkare rättigheter på sina gamla områden. Men i Sverige fortsätter samerna att förlora allt mer.

The city of Kyoto has undergone radical shifts in its significance as a political and cultural center, as a hub of the national bureaucracy, as a symbolic and religious center, and as a site for the production and display of art. However, the field of Japanese history and culture lacks a book that considers Kyoto on its own terms as a historic city with a changing identity.Examining cultural production in the city of Kyoto in two periods of political transition, this book promises to be a major step forward in advancing our knowledge of Kyoto’s history and culture. Its chapters focus on two periods in Kyoto’s history in which the old capital was politically marginalized: the early Edo period, when the center of power shifted from the old imperial capital to the new warriors’ capital of Edo; and the Meiji period, when the imperial court itself was moved to the new modern center of Tokyo. The contributors argue that in both periods the response of Kyoto elites—emperors, courtiers, tea masters, municipal leaders, monks, and merchants—was artistic production and cultural revival. As an artistic, cultural and historical study of Japan's most important historic city, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Japanese history, Asian history, the Edo and Meiji periods, art history, visual culture and cultural history.

'This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism' Angela Davis'Fanon is our contemporary ... In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism' Deborah LevyFrantz Fanon's urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.

In the tradition of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all. Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second is the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl who was kidnapped by Comanches in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the "White Squaw" who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend. S. C. Gwynne's account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told.

How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is an ambitious masterwork of political economy, detailing the impact of slavery and colonialism on the history of international capitalism. In this classic book, Rodney makes the unflinching case that African maldevelopment is not a natural feature of geography, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent, a practice that continues up into the present. Meticulously researched, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa remains an unshakably relevant study of the so-called "great divergence" between Africa and Europe, just as it remains a prescient resource for grasping the the multiplication of global inequality today. In this new edition, Angela Davis offers a striking foreword to the book, exploring its lasting contributions to a revolutionary and feminist practice of anti-imperialism.

Indian American author Manil Suri grew up in a large crumbling apartment in Bombay (now Mumbai) which his parents, who were Hindu, shared with three Muslim families. Their single room, at times a refuge from the religious and territorial tensions pervading the apartment, was also a prison that held them captive—his parents stuck in an unhappy marriage, the author unable to explore the dawning realization he might be gay. At age 20, Suri managed to break free and come to the US, where he finally found the freedom to embrace his sexuality and find a life partner. But the room, which still held his parents hostage, kept wrenching him back to Bombay.By now real estate prices had risen so much that neighbors had begun conspiring to take over the room, causing Suri’s parents to dig in even more. Eventually it was only his mother, Prem, left, who had staked all her happiness on her son but was unable to escape the room’s hold on her. When a rash of mysterious incidents seemed to beset the room, Suri realized how little time he had left to convince Prem that a happier life might await beyond the four walls that both enthralled and imprisoned her.This remarkable, gripping memoir explores how an abode can shape destiny, while delving into the difficult question of how much to prioritize our parents’ happiness over our own. Inspired by over 2,700 letters the author wrote home over three decades, it is ultimately a testament to the abiding, unbreakable bond tying a son to his mother.

För hundra år sedan inleddes tvångsförflyttningarna av renskötande samer i Sverige. Myndigheterna kallar lösningen för en dislokation, men på samiska föds ett eget ord; Bággojohtin, tvångsförflyttning. De första som tvingas iväg lämnar sina hem i tron att de ska få komma tillbaka.
Bakgrunden är att Norge har blivit en egen nation. Att människor flyttar över gränsen med renar är ett rött skynke för den norska staten som vill ha markerna för sina landsmän. 1919 kommer Sverige och Norge överens om att begränsa hur mycket ren som får flytta över gränsen och i och med det inleds tvångsförflyttningarna av ett stort antal renskötande familjer. Det blir också inledningen på ett mörkt kapitel i Sveriges historia.
Herrarna satte oss hit berättar nu historien genom de tvångsförflyttades ögon. Elin Anna Labba har samlat berättelser, foton, brev och jojktexter, och fram träder en kör av röster från de som inte längre kan berätta. Boken skildrar ett hårt liv, renar som går förlorade när de vänder norrut mot tidigare marker, barn som lämnas till släktingar och sedan blir kvar. Sorg som tystas men ändå förs vidare.

Samerna har tvångsförflyttats, förlorat sina marker, placerats i internat och utsatts för rasbiologi. Språket har tryckts undan och samer har beskrivits som primitiva och exotiska. Hur påverkar historien det samiska folket och hur mår det samiska samhället idag?
Inifrån Sápmi samlar över tjugo berättelser om att bli berövad sin identitet, växa upp utan att kunna sitt språk och om att inte betraktas som tillräckligt mycket same. Det handlar om att bära på flera kulturella identiteter och om förtryck och motstånd, förr och nu.
Samerna har haft sitt hem här långt före nationalstaterna och är ett av världens urfolk. Sápmi sträcker sig över Norge, Sverige, Finland och Ryssland och är ett gränsöverskridande landområde, med en kollektiv historia och gemensamma minnen. Inifrån Sápmi är en mosaik av erfarenheter och drömmar om en annan framtid.

Although the Kurds have attracted widespread international attention, Iranian Kurdistan has been largely overlooked. This book examines the consequences of modernity and modernisation for Iran’s Kurdish society in the 20th century. Marouf Cabi argues that while state-led modernisation integrated the Kurds in modern Iran, the homogenisation of identity and culture also resulted in their vigorous pursuit of their political and cultural rights.Focusing on the dual process of state-led modernisation and homogenisation of identity and culture, Cabi examines the consequences of modernity and modernisation for the socioeconomic, cultural, and political structures as well as for gender relations. It is the consequences of this dynamic dual process that explains the modern structures of Iran’s Kurdish society, on the one hand, and its intimate relationship with Iran as a historical, geographical, and political entity, on the other. Using Persian, Kurdish and English sources, the book explores the transformation of Kurdish society between the Second World War and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, with a special focus on the era of the 'White Revolution' during the 1960s and 1970s.

Svensk pedagogisk forskning har under ett flertal år utvecklat interkulturella perspektiv, såväl metodiskt som teoretiskt. Den har visat hur viktigt det är att skolorna i dagens mångkulturella samhälle fokuserar på att främja interkulturellt lärande. I denna antologi presenteras aktuell forskning. Bidragen visar att skillnaderna i barns och ungas uppväxtvillkor har ökat i Sverige. De visar också att diskriminering och rasism är återkommande problem och att modersmålsundervisningen är starkt marginaliserad. Samtidigt pekar de på möjligheter som finns för att stärka skolors och föreningars interkulturella arbete, hur lärare kan arbeta med svåra och kontroversiella texter i undervisningen och hur ungdomsföreningar med estetisk bildningspraktik kan bidra till interkulturellt engagemang. I boken diskuteras hur nya teoretiska inriktningar, som normkritiskt perspektiv och posthumanism, kan bidra till att skapa ett eftersträvansvärt pedagogiskt klimat. Att både lärarutbildning och skola ska kunna ges teoretiska redskap för att kunna hantera läroplaners målsättning och förverkliga dessa i pedagogisk praktik tas också upp i boken.Interkulturella dimensioner är avsedd som kurslitteratur vid lärarutbildningar och vid andra pedagogiska utbildningar på universitet och högskola. Boken vänder sig till lärare, pedagoger, skolledare samt till kuratorer, psykologer och socionomer samt till alla som är intresserade av barn, ungdomar och mångkultur.

The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely.In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees - as well as the cotton shrub - are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants.Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains practiced an archival art—narrating war exploits in large-scale paintings executed on animal hide robes, shirts, tipi covers, and tipi liners. Essentially autobiographical, the paintings were worn and lived in by the men whose war exploits they portrayed, and were made to be “read” by the public at large. Executed in a pictorial narrative style and documenting actual events, these paintings blend visual art and history.Indigenous War Painting of the Plains is the first comprehensive look at this important North American art form, covering the full corpus of war paintings from fourteen tribes across the plains.Two impediments have previously made such a book impractical: photography alone falls short of rendering war paintings for the printed page, and only about half of the surviving works have reliable documentation on their cultural origins. Arni Brownstone surmounts these difficulties by producing precise electronic redrawings and by using well-documented paintings to inform poorly documented examples, bolstered by a careful examination of collection histories. Featuring some 300 photographs and electronic redrawings, the book focuses on 83 paintings organized into four chapters covering the paintings of tribes associated with a specific geographical sphere of artistic influence. Four appendixes feature paintings combined with “translations” by Indigenous collaborators who had intimate knowledge of the depicted events.Offering vivid access to the key works of war painting preserved in 37 museums throughout North America and Europe, Indigenous War Painting of the Plains illuminates distinctions between painting styles of different tribes, reveals how they influenced one another and changed over time, and conveys a deep understanding of how war painting developed in relation to profound social changes in Plains Indian cultures.

I alla samhällen skapas hierarkier där människor lever under skilda villkor. När vissa grupper får mycket makt, leder det till andra gruppers underordning. I den här boken beskrivs hur en etnisk maktordning skapas och upprätthålls i skola och samhälle, men också vilka möjligheter som finns för att inom förskola och skola arbeta för ett interkulturellt förhållningssätt. Kanske kan du som läsare få en fördjupad syn på den etniska maktordningen. Att få syn på är att få kunskap, och kunskap ger redskap för att förändra. Och det krävs förändringar i samhället och skolan om värdegrundsbegreppet ska kunna omfatta alla oavsett etnicitet.Skolan är en central arena för möten mellan barn, ungdomar, föräldrar, lärare och övrig skolpersonal. Förskolan och skolan är, tillsammans med hemmen, den viktigaste normgivande arenan i socialiseringen av barn och ungdomar. I förskolan och skolan finns förutsättningar för ett demokratiskt interkulturellt samhälle – ett samhälle där människor möts på samma villkor.I denna andra upplaga av Etnisk maktordning i skola och samhälle har texten uppdaterats med senaste ändringar i lagar och styrdokument och med aktuell forskning.Etnisk maktordning i skola och samhälle vänder sig till blivande och verksamma lärare, socionomer samt studenter och verksamma inom området socialt arbete.

Compiled by bestselling author susan abulhawa, an Arabic-English bilingual anthology of essays from eighteen young Palestinian writers trying to survive the genocide in Gaza.In early 2024, writer and activist susan abulhawa managed to enter Gaza twice through the Rafah crossing. There, at the Culture and Free Thought Association, susan held a series of workshops for young people who had been displaced to tent encampments. The lives of all participants were marked by unrelenting Israeli violence and extraordinary loss—of home, family, safety, education, electricity, and all the structures of life. They’d fled from place to place as Israel’s colonial violence swirled around them, complete with food and water insecurity and constant threat. Still, despite the bitterness of life in tents and the dangers of travel, they came together to share in the refuge of writing and community. Samya recounts a tender moment with an old man mending shoes in the street, while her cousin Saja hides books in her closet, hoping they and her home will still be there when she returns. Ghassan is haunted by the baby he rescued from the rubble, who for a time became his son. Fatima risks it all retrieve her clothes from a danger zone buzzing with drones and warplanes. Maram’s loving aunt is gone, and chaos inhabits Amr’s mind. Samah, Lubna, Rizq, and Nebal take us by the hand through raining death, trails of tears, classroom shelters, and shared clothes in crowded tents. Every Moment Is a Life delivers rare, unfiltered portraits of life under genocide, platforming the emerging voices struggling to survive in Gaza today. These essays are raw and real, capturing human moments—buying bread, going to the bathroom, sharing a meal, drinking coffee—all set against the backdrop of history’s first livestreamed ethnic cleansing. With courage, anger, love, agony, and—impossibly—hope, these achingly tender voices from Gaza will stay with us, captured in these pages, forever. *All proceeds go to the contributors in Gaza and to Palestine Writes Literature Festival

Now twenty years since its initial release, Richard Dyer’s classic text White remains a groundbreaking and insightful study of the representation of whiteness in Western visual culture.White explores how, while racial representation is central to the organisation of the contemporary world, white people have remained a largely unexamined category in sharp contrast to the many studies of images of black and Asian peoples. Looking beyond the apparent unremarkability of whiteness, Dyer demonstrates the importance of analysing images of white people. Dyer places this representation within the contexts of Christianity, ‘race’ and colonialism. In a series of absorbing case studies, he shows the construction of whiteness in the technology of photography and film as part of a wider ‘culture of light’; discusses heroic white masculinity in muscle-man action cinema, from Tarzan and Hercules to Conan and Rambo; analyses the stifling role of white women in end-of-empire fictions like Jewel in the Crown and traces the associations of whiteness with death in Falling Down, horror movies and cult dystopian films such as Blade Runner and the Aliens trilogy. This twentieth anniversary edition includes a new introductory chapter by Maxime Cervulle entitled ‘Looking into the light: Whiteness, racism and regimes of representation’. This new introduction illuminates how Dyer has made a major contribution to the study of contemporary regimes of representation by unveiling the cultural mechanisms that have formed and reinforced white hegemony, mechanisms under which white people have come to represent what is ordinary, neutral, even universal.

'An urgent, vital contribution to the feminist conversation – one that tears through the comfortable myth of universal sisterhood' – Alya Mooro, author of The Greater FreedomGrowing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It’s a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. This mindset fuels gendered Islamophobia and a narrow white feminism. But Muslim women don’t need rescuing.The Othered Woman is the book Ezaydi wishes her younger self could have turned to. It challenges the myths of how Muslim women are oppressed and who by, and shows that these myths translate into very real harm both in Britain and around the world, showcasing the voices of intersectional feminists who are fighting for liberation on their own terms. Accessible and compelling, this is urgent reading for anyone who considers themselves a feminist.

Förskolepersonal möter dagligen barn och föräldrar med skiftande kulturell bakgrund vilket ställer höga krav på lärarnas interkulturella pedagogiska kompetens. Syftet med denna bok är att bidra till utvecklingen av arbetet med flerspråkiga barn, eller nyanlända barn, i förskolan och bemötandet av vårdnadshavare med olika bakgrund och tankar kring barnuppfostran och förskolans roll.
De olika kapitlen innehåller både forskningsresultat och beprövade erfarenheter från förskolan.
