Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present Book, First Of Its Kind, Differs Distinctly And Prominently From The Books Written In The Past On Tribes, Tribal Women, Or Working Women Of Our Country, Because It Deals With A Hitherto Unexplored Profile Of Tribal Women And Compares The Features With Those Of Non-Tribal Women. Absence Of Detailed Studies On The Lives Of Tribal Working Women Is Not Surprising Because The Phenomenon Itself Of Tribal Women Entering Into White-Collar Jobs In Significant Numbers, Especially In Cities Located In Tribal Belts Of Our Country, Is Of Recent Origin. But Coming As They Are From Distinctly Different Socio-Cultural Background, Having Traversed Different Psyche And Approach Towards Their New Role And Life, Tribal Working Women Differ Significantly From Their Non-Tribal Twins. One Of The Reasons For These Differences Lies In The Patriarchy And Normative System, Which Are Not So Much Rigid In The Tribal Society As They Are In The Non-Tribal Society. Therefore, A Comparative Study Of Tribal And Non-Tribal Working Women Presents To Us An Opportunity To Observe The Contours Of Cultural Characteristics Of The Two Societies As Reflected In The Attitudinal And Motivational Responses Of Their Women.The Author Has Analyzed The Facts And Figures Obtained On Different Aspects Of Lives Of Tribal And Non-Tribal Working Women Of Ranchi (The State Capital Of Jharkhand) In The Perspective Of Socio-Cultural Configurations Of The Two Societies And Presented The Findings In A Format Meant For General Readership. The Book Is Expected To Be Of Interest To Researchers Associated With Tribal Studies, Women Studies, Comparative Study Of Tribal And Non-Tribal Societies, And Working Women.

The Book Answers Such Questions And Helps The Reader Understand Their Meanings. The Goddesses Discussed Range From The Devoted Sita To The Sinister Kali; From The Warrior Durga To The Auspicious Shri Lakshmi; From The Erotic Radha To The Serene Sarasvati And Many Others. Dr. Wangu Firmly Feels That If Experienced Hindu Goddesses Have A Potential For Stimulating The Onlooker'S Innermost Self.

Download or read book The Dividing Paths written by M. Thomas Hatley and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1995 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the American Cherokee people and the South Carolina settlers, this book traces the two cultures and their interactions from 1680, when Charleston was established as the main town in the region, until 1785, when the Cherokees first signed a treaty with the United States. Hatley retrieves the unfamiliar dimensions of a world in which Native Americans were at the center of Southern geopolitics and in which radically different social assumptions about the obligations of power, the place of women, and the use of the land fed the formative cultural psychology of the colonial South. Weaving together firsthand accounts, journals, and letters to give a human reality to the facts of war, politics, and the economy, he pinpoints the revolutionary decade--from the little known but decisive Cherokee war through the Revolution itself--in which both societies struggled over their own identities. Rather than focusing on the Cherokees and Carolinians separately, this book focuses on contacts, encounters, exchanges, intersections: their mutual history. Hatley argues that Cherokee and colonial histories cannot be understood separately--that they are inextricably linked--and that the origins of distinctive features of Native American and colonial ethnicity and seemingly unrelated twists in the political history of each society are rooted in this encounter.

Download or read book Adivasi Rights and Exclusion in India written by V. Srinivasa Rao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the processes and impacts of exclusion on the Adivasis (tribal or indigenous people) in India and what repercussions these have for their constitutional rights. The chapters explore a wide range of issues connected to the idea of exclusion — land and forest resources, habitats and livelihoods, health and disease management, gender relations, language and schooling, water resources, poverty, governance, markets and technology, and development challenges — through case studies from different parts of the country. The book argues that any laws intended to safeguard the fundamental rights of Adivasis must acknowledge the fact that their diverse and complex identities are not homogenous, and that uniform laws have failed to address their systemic marginalisation since the colonial era. This work appeals for a serious and meaningful political intervention towards tribal development. The volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of tribal and Third World studies, sociology and social anthropology, exclusion studies and development studies.

Download or read book Tribe, Race, History written by Daniel R. Mandell and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award–winning study examines American Indian communities in Southern New England between the Revolution and Reconstruction. From 1780–1880, Native Americans lived in the socioeconomic margins. They moved between semiautonomous communities and towns and intermarried extensively with blacks and whites. Drawing from a wealth of primary documentation, Daniel R. Mandell centers his study on ethnic boundaries, particularly how those boundaries were constructed, perceived, and crossed. Mandell analyzes connections and distinctions between Indians and their non-Indian neighbors with regard to labor, landholding, government, and religion; examines how emerging romantic depictions of Indians (living and dead) helped shape a unique New England identity; and looks closely at the causes and results of tribal termination in the region after the Civil War. Shedding new light on regional developments in class, race, and culture, this groundbreaking study is the first to consider all Native Americans throughout southern New England.

Download or read book At the Dawn of Modernity written by David Levine and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2001-02-19 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at a neglected period in the social history of modernization, David Levine investigates the centuries that followed the year 1000, when a new kind of society emerged in Europe. New commercial routines, new forms of agriculture, new methods of information technology, and increased population densities all played a role in the prolonged transition away from antiquity and toward modernity. At the Dawn of Modernity highlights both "top-down" and "bottom-up" changes that characterized the social experience of early modernization. In the former category are the Gregorian Reformation, the imposition of feudalism, and the development of centralizing state formations. Of equal importance to Levine's portrait of the emerging social order are the bottom-up demographic relations that structured everyday life, because the making of the modern world, in his view, also began in the decisions made by countless men and women regarding their families and circumstances. Levine ends his story with the cataclysm unleashed by the Black Death in 1348, which brought three centuries of growth to a grim end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate history of the Afghan war—and the young Afghans whose dreams it enabled and dashed. No country was more deeply affected by 9/11 than Afghanistan: an entire generation grew up amid the upheaval that began that day. Young Afghans knew the promise of freedom, democracy, and safety, fought with each other over its meaning—and then witnessed its collapse. In Twenty Years, the Wall Street Journal correspondent Sune Engel Rasmussen draws on more than a decade of reporting from the country to tell Afghanistan’s story from a new angle. Through the eyes of newly empowered women, skilled entrepreneurs, driven insurgents, and abandoned Western allies, we see the United States and its partners bring new freedoms and wealth, only to preside over the corruption, war-lordism, and social division that led to the Taliban’s return to power. Rasmussen relates this history via two main characters: Zahra, who returns from abroad with high hopes for her liberated county, where she must fight to escape a brutal marriage and rebuild her life; and Omari, who joins the Taliban to protect the honor of his village and country and winds up wrestling with doubt and the trauma of war after achieving victory. We also meet Parasto, who risks her life running clandestine girls’ schools under the new Taliban regime, and Fahim, a rags-to-riches tycoon who is forced to flee. With intimate access to these and other characters, Rasmussen offers deep insight into a country betrayed by the West and Taliban alike.
