More information on the publishing program is available on the ERCOMER website at: http://www.ruu.nl/ercomer/publish/index.html Many of the issues concerning migration and the position of ethnic minorities are coming to be seen at a European rather than national level. Increasingly, decisions taken at this level will affect migrants and minorities in al the countries of the European Union and beyond. There are currenly moves to develop a common policy on migration control and on the integration of migrants and minorities. The opportunities and the dangers that these moves suggest will increasingly require the co-ordination of individuals and groups across national boundaries. This in turn means that it is imperative for NGOs, community groups, statutory organisations and others to know how to locate and contact their equivalent organisations in all fifteen member states, and in the newly independent states of Central and Eastern Europe. This Directory, which is a completely new and revised version of a directory on Ethnic Minority and Migrant Organisations first published in 1991, provides a unique listing of more than 10,000 organisations. It is divided into community and solidarity groups, support and service organisations, anti-racist bodies, statutory agencies and organisations dealing with research and documentation. The directory will be indispensable for anyone interested in combating racism or in the promotion of equality of opportunity in Europe. It will become the standard reference work for a number of years for all individuals or organisations committed to these ends. What others say about it: `The fight for tolerance and intercultural understanding needs good sources of information, strong allies, good facilities and helpful sponsors. This new version of the European Directory on Migrant and Ethnic Minority Organisations provides the necessary references. It will be as indispensable as the first edition.' Ulrich Bunjes, Director of the European Youth Campaign against racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance `The Migration Policy Group looks forward to the publication of what promises to be a valuable resource for our ongoing activities in the migration field. The Directory will serve as an important guide for identifying relevant organisations and facilitating the establishment of trans-European migration networks.' Dr Jan Niessen, Director of the Migration Policy Group The European Directory has been generously supported by a grant from the European Commission.

This will be the first time the state of S. Dakota has taken the issue of sacred lands to a public forum. A portion of the land in the Black Hills under discussion was used this past Spring for a ceremony in which over 700 of our young people were in attendance. This ceremony has grown each year and is jeopardized. A few months ago, President Clinton issued an executive order supporting the right to free worship of the people in traditional sacred lands. A local judge in SD has chosen to ignore this executive order and prohibit the use of the Black Hills for gathering of over 40 people. Tomorrows meeting is sponsored by two legislators the representative from the Rosebud Reservation and Rep. Volsky. Arvol Looking Horse and other tribal leaders plan to attend the meeting which begins at 10PM in Pierre, SD. There are a number of ongoing cases involving spiritual and human rights following the June 21, 1996 Proclamation from Arvol Looking Horse. Would like to see several hundred faxes to the governor between now and tomorrow's meeting in support of our Elders and the first nations right to worship on sacred grounds.

Mailing List: NativeWeb FOR MEDIA DISTRIBUTION: State of South Dakota Attempts Silencing of Internet Petitioners by J. Peiffer Willett In an unprecedented move, the State of South Dakota has blocked the personal Internet E-Mail address of a Native American activist to avoid a flood of petition signatures in opposition of the state's effort to limit Native American access to Sacred sites and prohibit numbers (in excess of 40) of Native Americans from congregating. The petitions were in response to an Internet Alert that indicated a meeting would take place today December 3, in Pierre South Dakota to include both Representative Volski and the Representative from Pine Ridge, as well as Arvol Looking Horse, Joe Chases Horses and other Native Leaders. The indicated intent of the hearing was the review of an earlier court order that overturned, at a state level, President Clinton's 1996 Executive Order regarding Freedom of Religion. States are not bound to adhere to an executive order. Questions arise with the action of the State blocking E-Mail petitions. Are Internet petitioners availed "equal access" to state designated representatives? Is E-Mail to be considered less credible, or a hoax, even deemed harassment by officials, though verification of signatories is available? Are Internet petitioners than afforded less than those who sign hard-copy petitions? E-Mail is both economically advantageous to many and a much faster means of having public opinion available in a timely fashion. Is the action of South Dakota's not an effort to curtail the constitutional rights of not only constituents, but those most likely to be affected by the legislative and judicial whims, the Native American populace? If the South Dakota legislature is allowed to restrict access to sites such as Bear Butte the impact will far exceed the concerns of only residents of that state. Native American religious practices are not bound by Federal or State defined political boundaries. So then, is it not feasible to not only allow but expect an outcry from more than within the State? The offenders Internet Service Provider was contacted by South Dakota State officials and asked to curtail the senders activity. When the Service Provider refused to interfere with the personal and private activity of a customer and supported their right to freedom of expression...other means were taken to allay the flood of messages. In a six o'clock CST newscast the South Dakota governor, Bill Janklow, announced that the state will organize committees to include Native people in an effort to address welfare reform, preservation of sacred site status and other issues of import.

More information on the ERCOMER publishing program is available on the Internet at: http://www.ruu.nl/ercomer/publish/index.html More general information on ERCOMER and its activities is available on the ERCOMER websites at: http://www.ruu.nl/ercomer Book Series Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations The European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER) is pleased to announce a major new series, Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations, edited by Maykel Verkuyten, Malcolm Cross and Louk Hagendoorn. This series is intended to fill a vacuum in current publishing. It remains the case that most contributions to the field are restricted to national coverage. All the books in this series will have some wider comparative purpose. This will either be achieved by addressing an important theme from different national perspectives or by the inclusion of truly comparative studies. The books will focus on Western, Central or Eastern Europe, but may from time to time include titles covering material from other countries. Books in the series are intended to be of value to students of migration, nationalism, race relations and ethnic studies from a variety of social science disciplines as well as to established researchers and others. They are available only in paper-bound format and are intended to represent excellent value for money. AVAILABLE TITLES: Nationalism, ethnicity and cultural identity in Europe edited by Keebet von Benda-Beckman and Maykel Verkuyten Present day Europe is facing major transformations which include moves towards European unification, the re-emergence of nation-states in Eastern Europe, a rise in importance of ethnic minority groups, and the rise of nationalism and the extreme right. There seems to be a remarkable degree of consensus that culture has become and will remain a crucial issue in these developments. The prominence of culture parallels the world-wide use of the politics of identity and difference since the 1980s.This book addresses these critical issues by bringing together perspectives from a variety of disciplines, such as political science, sociology, anthropology, and social psychology. The book offers both more theoretical and empirical examinations. Contributors include: Keebet von Benda-Beckmann and Maykel Verkuyten, Eugeen Roosens, Theodor Hanf; Jan Berting and Wim Heinemeijer, Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Michael Billig, Louk Hagendoorn, Bhikhu Parekh, Bengt-Erik Borgstr=F6m, John Crowley, Erhard Blankenburg, Mohammed Arkoun Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations 1 Published 1 December 1995, 199 pp., =A311.95/dfl.29.50 paperback, ISBN 90 75719 01 9 The threatening minority: racial violence and political extremism in Europe edited by Malcolm Cross The apparent rise in racially motivated violence [Picture of Book Cover] has been manifest at a time when economic and political integration in Europe has been high on domestic and international agendas. Are these phenomena related, or are the examples of violence and fanaticism merely a response to local circumstances or a consequence of the rise in youth related crime more generally? How much can attacks on foreigners be seen as part of a larger urban crisis or are they best regarded as manifestations of neo-fascism? This book examines these questions in North-West Europe through the writings of acknowledged experts. Contributors include: Malcolm Cross, Rob Witte, Helmut Willems, Sophie Body-Gendrot, Michael Keith, Marc Swyngedouw, Serge Govaert, Christopher Husbands, Brian Holland, Robert Miles Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations 2 Published end of 1996, ca. 200 pp., =A311.95/dfl.29.50 paperback, ISBN 90 75719 02 7 Exclusion and inclusion of refugees in contemporary Europe edited by Philip Muus The response of Western European governments to [Picture of Book Cover] the wave of asylum applications in the past few years has been increasingly restrictive. Despite country differences, the case studies in this book reveal that one consequence of very restrictive entry may be greater difficulties for the integration of those allowed to stay or other ethnic minorities, as negative images are used to justify exclusion. In the absence or a European asylum and refugee policy, those seeking refuge are forced to rely increasingly on illegal traffickers. Contributors include: Philip Muus, Guy S.
