It examines the presence of Islam in male-female relationships based on an analysis of the discourse in four discussion groups.

Los programas de integración de inmigrantes disponibles en los Estados mencionados han constituido el marco en el cual se ha insertado nuestro trabajo. Para justificar el análisis a partir de un marco como este, hemos considerado que las cuestiones que tienen que ver con el Islam y los musulmanes en Europa se dirimen más en relación con el estatuto de los inmigrantes que con el de las minorías religiosas.

These publications discuss Islam in Spain from perspectives that differ in objectives and methodology. The first book, by anthropologist Josep Lluís Mateo Dieste deals with the image of “the Moorish” over the course of Spanish history. The second, written by sociologist Salvatore Madonia is representative of a new line of research specifically interested in young Muslims in Spanish societies. The third publication, by anthropologist Jordi Moreras focuses on “radicalisation” as a new trend to study Muslim populations. The last volume, coordinated by arabist Luz Gómez-García, includes a significant number of articles, which analyze the relationship between the legitimacy and authority of Islam from a transnational perspective.

The six articles of this monograph attempt to shed some light on the dynamics and extent of the processes of exclusion through which persons and groups (self-)identified as Muslim are being stigmatized and discriminated against in a structural manner, as a result of different kinds of institutionalized Islamophobia.

El objetivo es averiguar si existe entre la población musulmana de Madrid una conciencia colectiva subalterna basada en la musulmaneidad que articule cualquier expresión de reivindicaciones organizadas o no colectivamente. Mediante la aplicación del modelo del estatus de Fraser (2000) y a partir del material de seis grupos de discusión celebrados en octubre 2016, en este artículo analizamos la naturaleza de dichas reivindicaciones.

In particular, the article examines the politics of segregation of language immersion programs for newcomers in the Spanish State, as well as their relationship with other language learning programs implemented as part of European initiatives to promote the use of Global English. This study is based on long-term ethnographic research conducted in different schools in Madrid. Adopting a comparative perspective, we also discuss different language programs in U.S. public schools: e.g., English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, bilingual education initiatives, Transitional and Dual Immersion programs. We examine how different educational policies for English language learners in the U.S. might be able to inform Spanish language education policies, forcing us to rethink the current school integration of immigrant origin students in Spain. We conclude with a critical discussion of the lessons we can draw from both cases.

Tanto los marroquíes como los españoles encargados de la educación de estos chicos, elaboran estereotipos que terminan siendo comunes para definir lo que significa ser marroquí. Esta marroquinidad se construye para ser enseñada a los niños y se materializa en una serie de 'obligaciones étnicas' que se espera cumplan. Palabras clave: escuela, educación intercultural, niños de origen marroquí, etnicidad, cultura.

Las -en su mayoría- investigadoras nos introducen sutilmente en la vida de esos centros señalándonos algunos aspectos clave y, sin imponer su mirada, nos hacen oír las voces y ver los rostros de los protagonistas: profesores y profesoras, adolescentes de orígenes diversos, provenientes de las distintas regiones de España, Ecuador, Colombia, Marruecos, Rumania o China.

Cada capítulo captura instantáneas en las que se revelan los cambios que experimentan los centros educativos, sus actividades y rutinas; se descubren algunas de las ilusiones y los temores de los estudiantes, así como las tensiones y el desamparo que viven los docentes; se atestiguan valores, afectos, encuentros y conflictos de cada día.

It highlights programs of "education des langues et cultures d'origine" (ELCO), which specifically target these students. ELCO is the only public program in Spain recognizing Arabic as an immigrant minority language. Intercultural educational perspectives for Moroccans have been realized through the ELCO Moroccan program, an elementary-level effort run by the Spanish and Moroccan governments. It works to teach the Arabic language and Moroccan culture and improve immigrant students' school integration (enhancing self-esteem and reducing ethnic prejudice and ethnocentric behavior) .
