In early 1987 the Canadian government closed its border to hundreds of would-be refugees streaming north from the United States. Forced to flee the newly passed Immigration Reform and Control Act, refugees from Central America, Southeast Asia, and eastern Africa found themselves trapped between the two countries. This article examines the reasons for the Canadian government's policy shift, the temporary refugee camp it created in upstate New York, and the camp's effect on the border town of Plattsburgh, NY. ; En début 1987, le gouvernement canadien décida de fermer sa frontière, précédemment ouverte, à des centaines de réfugiés potentiels en provenance des États-Unis, obligés de fuir vers le nord en raison de l'adoption récente d'une loi sur la réforme et le contrôle de l'immigration (Immigration Reform and Control Act). Des réfugiés de l'Amérique centrale, de l'Asie du Sud-Est, et de l'Afrique orientale se sont ainsi trouvés pris dans une position incertaine entre ces deux pays. Cet article étudie les raisons pour ce changement de politique de la part du gouvernement canadien, le camp de réfugiés temporaire qui en résulta dans le nord de l'État de New York et l'impact du camp sur la ville frontalière de Plattsburgh, NY.

This article explores the construction of anticlerical collective identities among Spanish workers from the late nineteenth century, outlining the ways in which the daily experience of the Church generated and intensified anticlerical sentiment. From the turn of the century, political, social and cultural changes sparked by industrialization and rural-urban emigration altered the face of 'traditional' Spanish popular anticlericalism; newly politicized workers increasingly identified the Church as part of the repressive machinery of the Restoration Monarchy's political system. As workers struggled to fend off the ever-expanding central state's intrusions into their domestic space and the Church's influence over innumerable aspects of everyday life (including, crucially, its control of public spaces) they constructed their own, strongly anticlerical 'workers' public sphere' grounded in alternative forms of socialization, cultural activities, and new secular rituals.

Democracy's Child places young people at the heart of pivotal conflicts, decisions, and transformations in US politics. From the March for Our Lives and Black Lives Matter, to Gay Straight Alliances and the Dreamer and Sunrise movements, the prominence of young people as agents of change are unmistakable in contemporary political life. Yet as the book shows, these movements reflect a long history of youth political mobilization and leadership, including Progressive Era labor organizing and 1960s civil rights and anti-war activism. Children also are crucial subjects of government and adult control, inspiring contention in nearly every realm of public policy, such as education, social welfare, abortion, gun control, immigration, civil rights and liberties, and criminal justice. And young people are regularly leveraged in political life as influential symbols of innocence and deviance, or treated as political collateral (as the spectacle of "kids in cages" under the Trump administration's "family separation" policy vividly captures). In a narrative that ranges from history and law to young adult literature, Democracy's Child reveals why the control, leveraging, and agency of young people shapes and defines our political landscape. Along the way, the book provides information about age or childhood as a potent category that combines with gender, race, class, immigration status, or sexual orientation to produce powerful systems of privilege or disadvantage.

This paper examines the cultural production of "Canada" and "Canadians" in The Newcomers, a 1953 film produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Using a form of discourse analysis that sees talk as social interaction and identity as socially and locally constructed, this study illuminates how "Canada" and "Canadians" are talked into being in a film ostensibly about immigration and immigrants. While illustrating the moment-to-moment construction of these social identities in this specific context, this study also illustrates how ethnomethodological tools could be used to critically analyze the production of ideologies and identities in audio-visual media. Specific attention is paid to the marginalization of Aboriginal peoples in this governmental text.Key words: Aboriginal peoples, Canada, cultural production, ethnomethodology, identity, Indigenous peoples, immigration, National Film Board, talk as social interaction. ; Ce document examine la production culturelle du «Canada» et des «canadiens» dans The Newcomers, un film de 1953 produit par l'office national du film du Canada. En utilisant une forme d'analyse du discours qui considère la parole comme une interaction sociale, et l'identité comme socialement et localement construite, cette étude met en lumière comment le «Canada» et les «canadiens» sont persuadés de jouer dans un film soi-disant sur l'immigration et les immigrants. Tout en illustrant étape par étape la construction de ces identités sociales dans ce contexte spécifique, cette étude illustre également comment des outils ethnométhodologiques pourraient être utilisés pour analyser de manière critique la fabrication des idéologies et des identités dans les médias audiovisuels. Une attention particulière est portée sur la marginalisation des peuples autochtones dans ce texte gouvernemental.Mots-clés : peuples autochtones, Canada, production culturelle, ethnométhodologie, identité, immigration, office national du film, la parole comme interaction sociale.

AbstractChristianity and Danishness are mutually reinforcing phenomena in Denmark. Three factors applying specifically to Denmark explain this: first, the lack of national representative bodies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark; second, the journalTidehverv("New Era") has nurtured a conservative and nationalistic Christian ethics among parts of the Danish clergy; and third, Danish politicians' abuse of the links between Christianity and Danishness as a tool in their anti-immigration strategies.
