Peut-on être citoyen avant d'être prêtre et donc catholique? Peut-on être citoyen avant d'être islamologue, voire avant d'être musulman? Quelles sont les exigences d'une pratique de la laïcité qui respecte les fondamentaux de la loi de 1905? Depuis 1983, un groupe de militants chrétiens, l'association CEDEC, a pris position pour une Eglise dégagée de l'Ecole confessionnelle, affirmant leur engagement en faveur de l'école pour tous, l'école publique, l'école de la République.

This book explores the position of the Dakhla and Kharga oases within Ottoman Egypt as well as the whole empire. It intends to contribute to the reflection on the characteristics and limits of Ottomanity as seen by the inhabitants of a region which, from Cairo, seemed remote and isolated. It is based on several sets of private archives, largely unpublished, supplemented by travelogues and by modern literature. Despite their remoteness from the Nile Valley and a unique environment, the Oases were integrated in the same administrative and judicial frame as the rest of Egypt. Taxation was specific as were the primarily agricultural resources. Because of the threat of Beduin raids, the Oases housed a large garrison. The book studies the impact of this military presence upon the Oasian society from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and the gradual erasure of Ottoman peculiarities, then of their memory during the nineteenth century.

« ‹Wa mbòk wa kar ki bed a yob›, autrement dit, ‹on ne saurait grimper sur un arbre avec un seul bras› » (Sagesse Béti/Cameroun, pour exprimer la notion de solidarité). Prenant comme point de départ l'hypothèse que la notion de solidarité dans l'enseignement social de l'Eglise catholique connaît un réseau d'influences et d'héritages historiques, philosophiques, sociologiques et éthiques ; cette étude se propose de montrer en premier lieu, l'évolution du concept de solidarité né en France au XIXème siècle jusqu'à son usage dans les textes du Magistère. Cette recherche s'emploie en second lieu à faire comprendre le rôle incontournable que joue la solidarité dans l'action menée par les Parents d'élèves de l'enseignement catholique au Cameroun. Et ce, en vue du relèvement de l'école chrétienne qui, face à la forte demande de scolarisation, a subi au cours des dernières décennies, les coups de la crise économique, des changements socio-politiques et parfois la mauvaise foi de certains hauts responsables… Ce livre s'adresse d'abord aux Educateurs, aux Professionnels du système éducatif, aux Hommes politiques et aux Parents. Il s'adresse ensuite à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la condition des Enseignants, aux problèmes de la qualité de l'éducation et de la formation de la jeunesse en Afrique noire en général et au Cameroun en particulier.

When the Constitution Act of 1867 was enacted, section 93 guaranteed certain educational rights to Catholics and Protestants in Quebec, but not to any others. Over the course of the next century, the Jewish community in Montreal carved out an often tenuous arrangement for public schooling as “honorary Protestants,” based on complex negotiations with the Protestant and Catholic school boards, the provincial government, and individual municipalities. In the face of the constitution's exclusionary language, all parties gave their compromise a legal form which was frankly unconstitutional, but unavoidable if Jewish children were to have access to public schools. Bargaining in the shadow of the law, they made their own constitution long before the formal constitutional amendment of 1997 finally put an end to the issue.In Honorary Protestants, David Fraser presents the first legal history of the Jewish school question in Montreal. Based on extensive archival research, it highlights the complex evolution of concepts of rights, citizenship, and identity, negotiated outside the strict legal boundaries of the constitution.

Entre 1867 et 2000, le gouvernement canadien a placé plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones dans des pensionnats d'un bout à l'autre du pays. Les autorités gouvernementales et les missionnaires étaient d'avis qu'afin de « civiliser et de christianiser » les enfants autochtones, il fallait les éloigner de leurs parents et de leur communauté d'origine respective. La vie de ces enfants au pensionnat était empreinte de solitude et d'exclusion. La discipline y était stricte et le déroulement du quotidien, lui, fortement régenté. Les langues et les cultures autochtones étaient dénigrées et réprimées. L'éducation et la formation technique prenaient trop souvent la forme de corvées et de tâches ménagères assurant l'autonomie des pensionnats. La négligence à l'égard des enfants fut institutionnalisée et le manque de supervision donna lieu à des situations où les élèves furent victimes de sévices physiques et sexuels. Une poursuite judiciaire déposée par les anciens pensionnaires a mené, en 2008, à la mise sur pied de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada. Étant l'aboutissement de plus de six ans de recherche, le rapport final de la Commission présente l'histoire des pensionnats ainsi que leur héritage, et trace la voie de la réconciliation. Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l'avenir résume les six volumes constituant le rapport final de la Commission. Il assimile les pensionnats à l'instrument d'un génocide culturel et indique, par le fait même, que ces pensionnats s'inscrivaient dans le cadre plus large de la politique colonialiste du gouvernement canadien à l'égard des peuples autochtones. Le rapport établit de quelle façon le sous-financement chronique a mené à des conditions de vie malsaines et à des taux de mortalité bien plus élevés que ceux caractérisant le reste de la population canadienne d'âge scolaire. De plus, il indique clairement que le gouvernement avait été avisé des conséquences de ses politiques et que d'autres options lui avaient été proposées, options qu'il a choisi d'ignorer et qui auraient pourtant réduit le taux de mortalité au sein des pensionnats. Les perturbations que ces pensionnats ont causées aux élèves autochtones, à leur famille et aux collectivités sont encore palpables à ce jour. Elles se mesurent par la perte des langues et des liens familiaux dans les communautés autochtones, ainsi que par les écarts qui continuent de séparer les Autochtones et les non-Autochtones du Canada sur les plans de la santé, de l'éducation et de l'emploi. La réconciliation permettra de reconnaître que les pensionnats faisaient partie d'un ensemble plus large de politiques visant à priver les Autochtones de leurs terres, de leur culture, de leur vie spirituelle et de leurs propres gouvernements. Les quatre-vingt-quatorze appels à l'action de la Commission établissent des mesures concrètes à appliquer pour réparer la relation tourmentée qui unit les peuples autochtones à la Couronne, et pour établir des rapports harmonieux entre Autochtones et non-Autochtones.

Le deuxième concile du Vatican (1961-1965) fut l'un des événements religieux les plus importants du vingtième siècle. Au Canada, il coïncida avec une période de changements culturels et sociétaux sans précédent, entraînant chez les évêques catholiques canadiens un réexamen de la place et de la mission de l'Église dans le monde. Pendant quatre ans, les évêques catholiques canadiens se réunirent avec leurs collègues de partout dans le monde pour réfléchir aux questions urgentes qui se posaient à l'Église et en débattre. Ce livre bilingue étudie l'interprétation et la réception de Vatican II au Canada, analysant diverses questions, dont le rôle des médias, les réactions des autres chrétiens, les contributions des participants canadiens, l'impact du Concile sur la pratique religieuse et sa contribution à la progression du dialogue interreligieux. The Second Vatican Council (1961-1965) was one of the most significant religious events of the twentieth-century. In Canada, it was part of a moment of unprecedented cultural and societal change, causing Canadian Catholics to reexamine the church's place and mission in the world. For four years, Canadian Catholic bishops met with their peers from around the globe to reflect on and debate the pressing issues facing the church. This bilingual volume explores the interpretation and reception of Vatican II in Canada, looking at many issues including the role of the media, the reactions of other Christians, the contributions of Canadian participants, the council's impact on religious practice and its contribution to the growth of inter-religious dialogue.

Europe is going through a sort of'social revolution'with the influence of the church and religious instruction in state schools being open to discussion. Critics claim that providing religious instruction in state schools violates the constitutional separation of church and state. And yet, despite an alleged separation of church and state, in most countries, the church continues to play a considerable public role, especially in education. This publication is a compilation of studies on religious instruction in state schools. It describes the diversity between states and analyzes the legislative basis of religious instruction in various countries. Whereas in some countries, religious instruction in state schools is optional or compulsory with the possibility to opt out, in other countries religious instruction is banned from state schools. The comparative analyses in this book will be of great value to researchers in educational research and to educational policymakers. The chapters are written in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish language.

The Catholic Origins of Quebec's Quiet Revolution challenges a version of history central to modern Quebec's understanding of itself: that the Quiet Revolution began in the 1960s as a secular vision of state and society which rapidly displaced an obsolete, clericalized Catholicism. Michael Gauvreau argues that organizations such as Catholic youth movements played a central role in formulating the Catholic ideology underlying the Quiet Revolution and that ordinary Quebecers experienced the Quiet Revolution primarily through a series of transformations in the expression of their Catholic identity. Providing a new understanding of Catholicism's place in twentieth-century Quebec, Gauvreau reveals that Catholicism was not only increasingly dominated by the priorities of laypeople but was also the central force in Quebec's cultural transformation.. He makes it clear that from the 1930s to the 1960s the Church espoused a particularly radical understanding of modernity, especially in the areas of youth, gender identities, marriage, and family.

This collection represents the first large scale attempt to discuss the Middle Eastern mandates as a totality. It compares the application and effects of this very specific form of late colonialism from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives, including anthropology, architecture, archival conservation, economics, history, law and sociology. It contains analyses at both micro and macro levels, including specific instances of revolt or collaboration, studies of particular individuals, of professional groups and their contributions to “nation-building,” comparisons between the various political and cultural policies of the mandatory powers, and the formation and practice of'le savoir colonial'by contemporary ethnographers, officials, physicians and teachers. The volume will be of interest to historians of imperialism and of the twentieth century Middle East.

This volume describes the main characteristics of contemporary European Islam. Following an outline of the historical background and some statistics related to the presence of Islam in Europe, the process of growth/ the development of Islam is analysed through religious instruction in educational systems, organisational structures and the forms of political participation by Muslims. In addition to a description of the relationship between European states and Islam in judicial terms, the different types of the inclusion/integration of Islam in European society is studied by looking at the media, the relations between religions, economic and international dimensions, and the manner in which views have changed following the events of September 11. Based on extensive bibliographal research, field studies and specific contributions of scholars, this book provides a rare and useful overall review for a wide public.Muslims in the Enlarged Europe has been selected by Choice as Outstanding Academic Title (2005).

Just how fascinating the discussion between the disciplines of education law and education policy can be was apparent at the'Annual Congress'of the European Education Law and Policy Association (ELA) in Rotterdam in December 1997. Although, on this occasion, the option was for an education policy subject, a multi-disciplinary approach is always to be preferred. Policy-makers interrogate lawyers; lawyers question scientists from other fields of study and lines of practice. It was, at the same time, a further illustration of how inspiring and productive--in the context of the European Union at any rate--comparative analyses can be for national and international education and social policy. The theme of the 1997 Congress, and consequently of this Yearbook, was urban education policy and its legal form as the touchstone of the modern interpretation of individual and social rights. This collection of thought-provoking essays and country reports thus centres on the question: what challenges for education do urban associations represent?
