Sommario/riassunto

This ethnographic study of middle-class British-Pakistani women in Manchester explores the sense of belonging they create through recognition and social status. Belonging in these communities is enacted through the performance of different identities-class, ethnicity, nationality, generation, age, religion, and gender-that earn them social power and status among family and friends. To prove they are "model migrants," worthy of respect and recognition, these women perform various and intersecting identities to maximize status and social capital in diverse situations. Far from being passive victims of racial, religious, or cultural discrimination, middle-class British-Pakistani women challenge prejudice against Muslims and British-



Pakistanis through certain practices, objects, performances, and relationships, serving as ambassadors for their religious and ethnic identity through their conduct and interaction with others in daily life.

Sommario/riassunto

Los Angeles n’est pas une ville comme les autres. Malgré des conditions hostiles, naturelles ou liées à son développement - secousses sismiques, approvisionnement en eau difficile, pollution, gigantisme... -, elle témoigne en effet de la volonté de ses 15 millions d’habitants d’en faire la métropole de l’Ouest américain, puis de l’intégrer au club des métropoles mondiales. La deuxième ville des États-Unis représente un poids économique indéniable, axé principalement sur les industries de haute technologie, mais aussi un poids culturel comme capitale mondiale du cinéma qui tout au long du xxe siècle a réussi à exporter L’american way of life. D’une manière ou d’une autre, la ville fait rêver tout en s’affranchissant des clichés traditionnels. Mais paradoxalement, plus la ville s’étale sans notion de limites, plus elle exprime au travers de la violence exercée dans son



espace public ce désir d’un centre qui, en faisant référence à la mémoire historique de son peuplement, matérialiserait l’identité d’une société désormais multiethnique. Cynthia Ghorra-Gobin nous fait comprendre avec clarté l’histoire exemplaire et les enjeux de cette mégapole à l’aube du xxie siècle.
