دانلود کتاب Difference, deviance, threat? : mainstream and right-extremist political discourse on ethnic issues in the Netherlands and France (1990-1997)

"This book examines the political discourse on ethnic issues in the Netherlands and in France. It has been written in order to highlight the socially constructed character and the social effects of this discourse and its different variants and expressions and thus to offer perspectives for evolution and change." "A central aim of this study is to show the often ambiguous and complex ways in which political leaders both inside and outside parliament discursively contribute to the production and reproduction of ethnic marginalization, inequality, exclusion and dominance and to challenge them. Therefore, this study is situated in a theoretical paradigm of discourse-analytical research within a critical perspective. By highlighting the respective roles of academics, public policy and politics Van der Valk discerns four perspectives: the perspective of adaptation; the perspective of under-privileging; the culture-as-a-problem perspective; and the diversity perspective." "This book has been written for an international audience of academics, politicians, journalists, policy makers and members of social movements engaged in the development of truly diverse societies and interested in the role of politics in attaining such an objective."--BOOK JACKET.
