The banlieue, the mostly poor and working-class suburbs located on the outskirts of major cities in France, gained international media attention in late 2005 when riots broke out in some 250 such towns across the country. Pitting first- and second-generation immigrant teenagers against the police, the riots were an expression of the multiplicity of troubles that have plagued these districts for decades. This study provides an ethnographic account of life in a Parisian banlieue and examines how the residents of this multiethnic city come together to build, define, and put into practice their c

AbstractThe ongoing crisis of the disadvantaged French outer‐city is portrayed in France as both the consequence and cause of the breakdown of an engaged and participatory collective life, and is increasingly viewed as the result of rising ethnic tensions and of the failure of French republican values to take hold. As these explanations gain ground, they move consideration away from the socio‐economic transformations that have so durably impacted conditions in these outer‐city areas. De‐industrialisation and the shrinking of the welfare state have greatly diminished the potential for social mobility in these districts, hollowing out in the process the potential of the French republican project to manage social inequalities. Through a consideration of these discourses and the way they have shifted since the 1990s, it is argued that the rising enactment of ethnic tension in thebanlieueneeds to be seen as an expression of this contradiction, of the modernist hopes and subsequent disappointments that these districts have incarnated, and of the failure of the state to sustain these areas during a period of prolonged economic restructuring.

To practice competently and with integrity, today's nurses must have in place several key elements that guide the profession, such as an accreditation process for education, a rigorous system for licensure and certification, and a relevant code of ethics. The American Nurses Association has guided and supported nursing practice through creation and implementation of a nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. This article will discuss ethics in society, professions, and nursing and illustrate how a professional code of ethics can guide nursing practice in a variety of settings. We also offer a brief history of the Code of Ethics, discuss the modern Code of Ethics, and describe the importance of periodic revision, including the inclusive and thorough process used to develop the 2015 Code and a summary of recent changes. Finally, the article provides implications for practicing nurses to assure that this document is a dynamic, useful resource in a variety of healthcare settings.

Anthropological inquiry developed around the study of the exotic. Now that we live in a world that seems increasingly familiar, putatively marked by a spreading sameness, anthropology must re-envision itself. The emergence of diverse national traditions in the discipline offers one intriguing path. This volume, the product of a novel encounter of American anthropologists of France and French anthropologists of the United States, explores the possibilities of that path through an experiment in the reciprocal production of knowledge. Simultaneously native subjects, foreign experts, and colleagues, these scholars offer novel insights into each other's societies, juxtaposing glimpses of ourselves and a familiar "others" to productively unsettle and enrich our understanding of both
