Sommario/riassunto |
|
Julie J. Park examines how losing racial diversity in a university affects the everyday lives of its students. She uses a student organization, the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) at "California University," as a case study to show how reductions in racial diversity impact the ability of students to sustain multiethnic communities. The story documents IVCF's evolution from a predominantly white group that rarely addressed race to the most racially diverse campus fellowship at the university. However, its ability to maintain its multiethnic membership was severely hampered by the drop in black enrollment at California University following the passage of Proposition 209, a statewide affirmative action ban. Park demonstrates how the friendships that |

students have-or do not have-across racial lines are not just a matter of personal preference or choice; they take place in the contexts that are inevitably shaped by the demographic conditions of the university. She contends that a strong organizational commitment to diversity, while essential, cannot sustain racially diverse student subcultures. Her work makes a critical contribution to our understanding of race and inequality in collegiate life and is a valuable resource for educators and researchers interested in the influence of racial politics on students' lives. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Les années 1945-1975 sont marquées, aux Pays-Bas, par la priorité absolue accordée au développement des activités industrielles. L'ampleur des mutations qui en résultent, tant au niveau de l'économie nationale qu'à l'échelle des régions, est telle que les Pays-Bas offrent alors l'exemple, assez original, d'un pays développé en cours d'industrialisation. L'accent est mis sûr l'industrialisation des régions périphériques, celles qui font l'objet des politiques de stimulation et de restructuration, politiques étroitement liées à l'aménagement du territoire. L'objectif majeur de la recherche développée ici est de |

confronter l'action territoriale des pouvoirs publics, la stratégie spatiale des grandes entreprises industrielles, la nature des problèmes à résoudre dans les diverses régions. L'industrialisation régionale se heurte à bien des difficultés : les effets de l'ouverture du marché néerlandais, l'insuffisante efficacité des aides publiques, une certaine discordance entre les politiques néerlandaises et les orientations proposées par la Commission des Communautés européennes, la mise en pratique d'une stratégie spatiale très sélective de la part des grandes entreprises. D'abord surtout quantitative, l'industrialisation est de plus en plus qualitative, ce qui accroît les difficultés des régions périphériques. A partir des années 1972-1974, les activités tertiaires prennent le relais de l'industrie comme moteur principal du développement régional. |
