Sommario/riassunto

Public broadcasters, like the BBC and the Italian broadcaster RAI, are some of the most important media organisations in the world. Politicians are often tempted to interfere in the workings of these broadcasters and when this happens, the results are highly controversial, as both the Blair and Berlusconi governments have discovered. Public Broadcasting and Political Interference explains why some broadcasters are good at resisting politicians' attempts at interference, and have won a reputation for independence - and why other broadcasters have failed to do the same.

Sommario/riassunto

In kindergartens children of different religions and with different religious attitudes meet, play and learn together. How do kindergartens deal with religious differences and how do children address this topic? The ethnographic study reported in this book explores this question in two kindergartens, one run by a Catholic, the other by an Islamic organization. The results illustrate how important it is to handle religious difference attentively. In order to reduce structural discrimination, the author considers how a culture of recognition can be developed, with religious difference being given the attention it



requires. This book provides a valuable contribution to a difference-sensitive interaction in educational institutions.

This insightful study is a delight to read as it opens up for us the voices of very young children about their experience and understanding of religious difference. - Sandra Cullen, in: British Journal of Religious Education 42:1, pp. 106-108.
