Gender Inequalities in the Education of the Second Generation in Western Countries
Drawing on comparative analyses from nine Western countries, we ask whether local-born children from a wide range of immigrant groups show patterns of female advantage in education that are similar to those prevalent in their host Western societies. We consider five outcomes throughout the educational career: test scores or grades at age 15, continuation after compulsory schooling, choice of academic track in upper-secondary education, completion…
When Patronage Meets Meritocracy: Or, The Italian AcademicConcorsoAs Cockfight
For more than a century the processes of making academic appointments to Italian universities have regularly made news - bad news. The charges are serious: abuses of professorial power, collusion to fix outcomes in advance, favouritism to loyal followers, tolerance of mediocrity, indifference to scholarly merit. None of the many modifications to the selection rules between 1865 and 2010 has been reckoned effective in extirpating corruption and en…
On being 'non-residential: Reflections on formation for ministry
The association of formation for ordained ministry with residential experience still remains, in however attenuated form, a privileged assumption in the construction of clergy training programmes today - both residential and nonresidential alike. In the context ofsevere financial constraint alongside, ofcourse, the development ofnew forms ofministerial formation, this essay argues for a more nuanced and careful reflection on the propriety ofthis …
The gift of repentance: A Maussian perspective on twenty years of pentimento in Italy
The influence of Marcel Mauss' study The Gift has largely been confined to the study of the circulation of goods and the social relations in which their transfer is embedded. One of Mauss' principal aims, however, was to show the political importance of gift-giving in averting the recourse to violence. In this paper, his approach to the offering, receiving and reciprocating of gifts is used to analyse the phenomenon of pentimento - the exchange o…

The People of the Plain: Class and Community in Lower Andalusia
Diverging from previous ethnographic studies of Spain that have limited themselves primarily to tiny mountain villages, Gilmore focuses on class relations and traditional culture in Fuenmayor, an Andalusian farming town of 8,000, to provide a greater understanding of complex societies. Unlike studies focused on homogeneous villages, Gilmore's study depicts a rural life characterized by class antagonism, political polorization, and occasional viol…
The kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro
Deaths of sovereigns or political leaders are generally accompanied by dramatic representation and celebration of the political order over which they have presided. The circumstances of death, funeral rites and destination of the corpse (cremation, burial or public display) proclaim the value and necessity of the ideas embodied in the ruler's office. However practically deficient or scandalous any particular ruler's interpretation of that office,…
