CfP: Configurations des héritages féministes. Revue « Recherches féministes », vol. 35 n°1
Le dossier consacré aux configurations des héritages féministes cherchera à mettre en évidence les héritages symboliques et matériels que reçoivent les féministes, et également les héritages qu’elles désirent léguer aux générations suivantes. Par héritage, nous entendons ce que l’on retient ou ce qui est transmis par celles qui nous précèdent, et ce, que les liens avec elles soient choisis, imposés, familiaux ou identitaires. La notion d’héritage est relationnelle, car nous considérons, à l’instar de Françoise Collin, que « la transmission n’est pas un mouvement à sens unique.

Migration and Racism in the Americas: The Case of Migrants in the United States
The exclusion of migrants and their descendants based on racism and xenophobia have a long historical tradition, particularly in the United States and Europe.
