  6 mai 2019, par siawi3

  L’appropriation culturelle devient l’une des principales grilles d’analyse de l’“identity politics” . « Insinuer qu’une culture serait le propre d’un groupe n’est pas très éloigné des positions d’un Trump ou d’un Salvini »

• India: The caste factor
  25 December 2017, by siawi3

  Among the few indisputable consequences of the just-concluded Assembly election in Gujarat is the forceful return of a peculiar form of identity politics. While religious identity, in the form of aggressive Hindutva, was the dominant tool for mobilising voters during the past two decades, this election campaign reintroduced an old form of identity politics first pushed by the Congress during the Assembly elections in 1980. The 2017 election results, declared on December 18, show that this form of identity politics still has wide acceptance in the State even if Hindutva continues to dominate.

• Israël : Comment une université cède devant le communautarisme
  26 février 2014, par siawi3

  Une université israélienne cède à l’une des revendications des plus stratégiques des intégristes musulmans palestiniens. Celui de disposer d’un local pour prier, en réalité un siège politique. Cette université s’en mordra les doigts.

• We need to stop conflating ‘Muslims’ with Islamists
  26 September 2016, by siawi3

  It’s insidious how the Islamist narrative has become mainstream everywhere – in the media, in social policies, in discussions around minority communities and human rights, in ‘progressive’ politics … it’s also very much part and parcel of how some freethinkers view ‘Muslims’ – homogenised masses whose default is always the Islamist no matter how many refuse and resist – often at great risk to their lives. Only when we stop conflating “Muslims” with Islamists and begin to see the immense dissent will we be able to ally with and show solidarity with progressive social and political movements and see the commonalities in our fight for secularism and against Islamism in Europe and across the globe.This is key if we are to link up and strengthen the international front against theocrats of all stripes. And not a moment too soon.

• Canada: Multiculturalism is failing Canada, needs a review
  30 November 2013, by siawi3

  “I think what we are doing in this country [Canada] is that this idea of multiculturalism has been completely distorted, turned on its head to essentially claim that any thing anyone believes — no matter how ridiculous and outrageous it might be — is OK and acceptable in the name of diversity.” Multiculturalism’s emphasis on diversity is divisive, and subverts social cohesion in Canada, and in the development of Canadian identity. In the long run, multiculturalism leads to ethnic marginalization and ethnic stratification particularly when there is unequal distribution of power in society. After almost four decades of experience, it would be prudent to give Canadian multicultural policy a second sober look.
