Los dispositivos de intervención social por los que atraviesan las mujeres inmigradas producen efectos de dominación mediante el uso de estrategias de diferenciación social. A partir del estudio de las prácticas y discursos presentes en los servicios de atención a mujeres inmigradas en España, se observan algunos procesos de subjetivación de profesionales y usuarias a partir de mecanismos de diferenciación en términos de género, origen nacional y clase. Estos procesos, basados en una diferenciación jerarquizada, tienen como uno de sus efectos la constitución de la categoría “mujer del tercer mundo” (Mohanty, 2003), entendida como una otra totalmente diferente a partir de un exceso culturalista. Esto lleva a que la intervención busque encauzarlas en una correcta inserción social en la sociedad de instalación, eludiendo las experiencias particulares y, en muchos casos, omitiendo las desigualdades sociales del contexto de instalación que afectan sus vidas.Palabras clave: mujeres inmigrantes, inmigración, inclusión/exclusión social, gubernamentalidad Dinâmica de diferenciação e desigualdades.

The case ofsocial interventions to immigrant women in SpainABSTRACTThe mechanisms of social intervention experienced by immigrant womenproduce effects of domination by using strategies of social differentiation.From the study of practices and discourses present in services for immigrantwomen in Spain, some processes of subjectivity of professionals and usersare observed in mechanisms of differentiation in terms of gender, nationalorigin and class. One of the effects of these processes, based on a hierarchicaldifferentiation, is the formation of the category “Third World Woman”(Mohanty, 2003), understood as an “other” totally different from a culturalistexcess. This leads to interventions seeking the control of their proper socialintegration into this new society, bypassing the particular experiences and,in many cases, omitting the social inequalities of the context affecting theirlives.Keywords: immigrant women, immigration, social inclusion/socialexclusion, governmentality

Se revisa brevemente el estado de la mujer en la cárcel y su perfil delictivo y los correspondientes datos cuantitativos de cárceles españolas. Se propone un proyecto de investigación e intervención cuyo objetivo principal es detectar los niveles de éxito o fracaso del colectivo de mujeres inmigrantes en su doble adaptación, a través de la observación de las distintas estrategias de asimilación que poseen. Todo ello, llevaría a una conclusión final, que sería obtener un perfil sociocultural de las mujeres inmigrantes. Esto llevaría a una intervención adecuada por parte de las instituciones o servicios que se ocupen de dar ayuda a colectivos desfavorecidos, y /o dar datos sobre la población reclusa a las políticas migratorias. It will be reviewed briefly the state of the woman in prison and her criminal profile and the corresponding quantitative data of Spanish prisons are briefly reviewed. A research and intervention project is proposed whose main objective is to detect the levels of success or failure of the immigrant women in their double adaptation, through the observation of the different assimilation strategies they have. All this, would lead to a final conclusion, which would be to obtain a sociocultural profile of immigrant women. This would lead to an adequate intervention by institutions or services that deal with giving assistance to disadvantaged groups, and / or giving information about the inmate population to migration policies.

This chapter discusses the social inequalities in school choice and the racial disparities of college access. Utilizing the theories of social capital and social inclusion, the author provides a conceptual framework for developing a college-going school culture in charter schools. Through this lens, the author considers that the level of school support needs to be equitable to the varying stages of self-efficacy, academic behaviors, and post-secondary aspirations that students enter school with. The author suggests the importance of the RECIPE (rigorous curriculum, expectations, collegiality, interconnection, parental engagement, and exposure) to prepare African American students for college.

In this article we critically assess the social investment perspective that has become the dominant paradigm in European social policymaking. We identify and discuss some of its shortcomings that may hamper social progress for all. In doing so, we focus on three pillars central to the idea of social investment: social inclusion through work, individual responsibility and human capital investment. We find that the social investment perspective has some serious flaws when it comes to the social protection of vulnerable groups. This is strongly related to the continuing relevance of social class in explaining and remedying social inequalities. We conclude that investment cannot be the only rationale for welfare state intervention and that protecting people should remain equally high on the policy agenda.

AbstractSport presents itself as a social configuration that enhances social inclusion by promoting tolerance, respect for others, cooperation, loyalty and friendship, and values associated with fair play, the most important ethical principles of sport. However, intolerance and exclusion can also be expressed in sport, certainly even more so the bigger the social inequalities and the ethnic, religious, gender, disability, and sexual orientation prejudices are in society. The processes of social exclusion, integration, and inclusion are research areas in the social sciences with consolidated knowledge, namely in the study of the problems of poverty, social inequalities, racial and ethnic discrimination, disability, and education. However, it is necessary to discuss the existing theoretical approaches and conceptions seen as explanatory principles of the reality of these fields of analysis, look at how they can frame the reality on the sports field, and then confirm them through empirical research in order to produce knowledge based on the reality of social facts. Despite the broad consensus on the potential of sport in promoting social inclusion, in this paper I stress that this potential can only become real if the orientation of sport includes strategies aimed at achieving these goals. I intend to show how the –social issue‖ in the field of sports has gained relevance in the institutional context, and thereby a new field of research for the social science of sport has been opened and needs to be deepened.

The Maker Movement has raised great expectations towards its potential for tackling social inequalities by mediating technology-related skills to everybody. Are maker spaces new players for social inclusion in digital societies? How can this potential impact be framed? While scientific discourse has so far identified broad value and impact dimensions of the Maker Movement, this article adds empirical insight into the potential for tackling social inequalities. The study is based on 39 interviews with makers and managers of maker initiatives and ten self-reporting surveys filled in by maker initiative managers throughout Europe, which have been analyzed qualitatively. We found four main domains in which makers address social inclusion: First, by mediating skills and competences not only in the field of digital technologies but in the broader sense of empowering people to “make” solutions for encountered problems. Second, we found that makers actively strive to provide democratized access to digital fabrication and the knowledge on how to use them. Third and fourth, we found different ambitions articulated by makers to change society and social practices towards a society providing better opportunities for individuals. As an entry point for further research and actions, we derived a maker typology that reflects the diverse and various types of relationships to be found in the maker community. This typology could be used for exploring further collaborations between social actors and the Maker Movement. We conclude with an outlook on potential trajectories of the Maker Movement and specify which could influence the inclusion of marginalized persons.

The study maintains the focus at the economic crisis in Greece, in real social terms. The research highlights the evidence between the level of education and poverty, and the impact that children of poor families are facing. The authors are focusing on the lack of social protection in single parent families, as well as the significant increase in the number of unemployed in Greece during the period of the memorandum. Moreover, the lack of an effective social state and the collapse of informal support networks increases the chances of tearing the social fabric and more families going into poverty. The study also underlines the social consequences of the economic crisis that are geared towards issues of social inclusion in societies organized in relation to values and the development of skills logic, and the inability to secure full-time jobs. The absence of social protection factors, coupled with the impact of vulnerability and risk factors, are causing poverty, unemployment, loss of rights and social support, social exclusion, discrimination, deinstitutionality, migration combined with effects on personality, developmental experiences, health of the body and soul. In Greek society, at the time of the economic crisis, there is a lack of a social protection network, and the weakening of the institution of the family. In Greece, it is necessary to approach the "new poor" in terms of politics and economy, so that they can be considered as indispensable social partners of democracy. Unprivileged social groups have to claim their rights, become part of their liberation process, and become faces of a change of personnel and social level with the ultimate goal of social transformation.

The number of immigrants is still very small in Finland. Until the l 990s immigrantscame to Finland in small numbers, mostly as a consequence of marriage. With thedissolution of the Sovi et Union, immigration to Finland from the former Sovi et Unionhas increased considerably with the consequence that Russian and Estonian speakersin Finland form the biggest immigrant groups speaking a foreign-language. Nowadaysthe largest immigrant groups from the former Soviet Union consist first of 'ethnicreturning migrants 'with Finnish ancestry and their family members and secondof immigrants married to Finnish citizens. In this article the social and economicintegration of immigrant women from the former Sovi et Union into Finnish societywas explored, with reference to the concept of segmented integration. Intermarriageis often de.fined a priori as 'problematic 'and it is thought to generate conjlict, marginalityand isolation for the immigrants. On the other hand, intermarriage is alsoseen as a resource for integration and social inclusion for the foreign-bom. In thisstudy intermarried immigrant women (Finnish-born - foreign-bom couples) werecompared to in-married immigrant women (foreign-bom - foreign-bom couples) usinga nationwide population survey targeted at Russian and Estonian immigrantsfrom the area of the former Sovi et Union.The results show that intermarried immigrant women seem to be quite successful infinding access to the Finnish and co-ethnic networks and at the same time they wereeconomically integrated. In-married immigrants experienced economic limitationsmore often than those who were intermarried. A noticeable part of in-married womenactually integrate into the networks of co-ethnics, while integration into Finnish networksis weak or non-existent. Intermarried immigrant women, on the other hand,integrate more often only into the Finnish community. This indicates that integrationhas become segmented and that marriage type was an important element - but onlyane among other factors - in the process of segmented integration.

Resumen: El siguiente artículo expone el feminismonacido en Europa y Norteamérica como elaboracionesdiscursivas coloniales que definieron lo que era ser mujery feminista, y cómo las categorías género y patriarcadoestablecieron lo que era la subordinación de la mujer ytambién las posibilidades de su emancipación. Son discursoscoloniales en el sentido en que han construido alas mujeres del tercer mundo, o del sur global, como un“otro”. El caso específico examinado en el presente artículocuestiona la construcción feminista euro-usa-céntricahecha sobre las mujeres y las feministas afrodescendientes,y cómo ellas bajo diversos procesos de resignificación delas categorías de análisis propuestas por el feminismo,como género y patriarcado, se afirman como mujeres negrasdiversas que construyen propuestas subversoras delorden social que las oprime de diferentes formas en razónde su condición racializada, de pobreza y de mujeres sinnecesidad de acudir a las categorías centrales del feminismo.Sin embargo, se sostiene que las mujeres negraspertenecientes a comunidades étnicas elaboran un nuevotipo de feminismo el cual se construye relacionado con lasacciones colectivas de su comunidad en la exigibilidad desus derechos. Finalmente se evidencia como las mujeresnegras/afrocolombianas construyen desde el legado desus ancestras cimarronas y palenqueras un feminismo otroque cuestiona los planteamientos universalistas del feminismoeurocéntrico y andinócéntrico, transformándolo yenriqueciéndolo.Palabras clave: género, feminismo, raza, patriarcado,discurso, poder, afrodescendientes, resistencia, descolonialidad.Feminism Cannot Be Single Because Women Are Diverse. Contributions to a Decolonial Black Feminism Stemming from the Experience of Black Women of the Colombian PacificAbstract: This article asserts that feminisms bornin Europe and North America are colonial discursiveelaborations that defined what it was to be a woman anda feminist, and that the categories of gender and patriarchyestablished what the subordination of women wasand also the possibilities for their emancipation. They’recolonial discourses in the sense that they have construedwomen of the third world, or of the global south, like an“other”. The specific case examined in this article questionthe euro-USA-centric feminist construction made aboutwomen and afro- descended feminist, and how they underseveral processes of resignification of the categories ofanalysis proposed by feminism, such as gender and patriarchy,assert themselves as diverse black women that buildproposals subverting the social order that oppresses them,without the need to recur to the central categories of feminism.However, women belonging to ethnic communitieselaborate a new type of feminism which is constructed inrelation to the community’s collective actions in demandingtheir rights. Finally, black of afro-Colombian women buildan alternate feminism based on the legacy of their maroonor runaway slave ancestors, questioning the universalistpositions of the Eurocentric and Andean-centric feminism,transforming it and enriching it.Key Words: gender, feminism, race, patriarchy, discourse,power, Afro-descendants, resistance, decoloniality.
