Download or read book Braving the Street written by Irene Glasser and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As homelessness continues to plague North America and also becomes more widespread in Europe, anthropologists turn their attention to solving the puzzle of why people in some of the most advanced technological societies in the world are found huddled in a subway tunnel, squatting in a vacant building, living in a shelter, or camping out in an abandoned field or on a beach. Anthropologists have a long tradition of working in poverty subcultures and have been able to contribute answers to some of the puzzles of homelessness through their ability to enter the culture of the homeless without some of the preconceptions of other disciplines. The authors, anthropologists from the U.S.A. and Canada, offer us an analysis of homelessness that is grounded in anthropological research in North America and throughout the world. Both have in-depth experience through working in communities of the homeless and present us withthe results of their own work and with that of their colleagues.

Book excerpt: At last, here is a compassionate, humane, and informative volume on the most unique and vulnerable group in our society today--homeless children. Homeless Children: The Watchers and the Waiters is unique because it offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the children and the enormously complicated causes of and solutions to their tragedy. The contributing authors discuss homeless children and the resolution of the problem, as well as the resulting policy and practice implications.From this single source of current research, policy, and practice information, you will better understand the circumstances of homelessness. You will also discover the impact of homelessness on children--the psychological effects on children’s development and behavior, the weakening of mother/child relationships, and the declining status of their physical health. Experts also describe the difficulties created by underfunded, poorly managed, and politically unpopular programs for homeless children, underscoring the need for a national policy to address the problem.Homeless Children: The Watchers and the Waiters is a thought-provoking and insightful book that must be read by professionals who work in human service agencies, sociologists, psychologists, health care workers, child care workers, teachers, and clergy. Policymakers, government officials, and child advocates must also read this masterful volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection emphasizes the human element in the study of Latin American history by focusing on the lives of twenty-three men, women, and children. Though they differ widely from each other in background and circumstance, these individuals share a common experience: all are caught up in some way by the profound, sometimes devastating, changes that accompany the modernization of a traditional society. Their stories bring vividly to life the impact that revolution, economic upheaval, urbanization, destruction of community life, and the disruption of family and gender roles have on ordinary people. These studies also bring out the various ways, often creative and courageous, in which Latin Americans have coped with the fortunes and vicissitudes of 'progress.'

This book was released on 1986 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bogotá is a city of migrants who come from the poverty stricken country areas in search of a better opportunity structure. But their adjustment to city life is accompanied by severe tensions and insecurity caused by the conflict between traditional and modern ways of life. In this urban predicament of «emotional polation and economic insecurity» the experience of Spirit ecstasy is of particular importance. It locks deeply into aboriginal patterns of religiosity and also provides the migrant with the inner security for which he craves. Thus in this ambient of rampant change the new city dweller finds a way to live a better, a more victorious and successful life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with street children who live in the developing world, and homeless youth who are from the developed world. They are referred to as children in street situations (CSS) to show that the problem is both in the children and in the situation they face. The book examines several aspects of the children and their street situations, including the families of origin and the homes they leave, the children’s social life, and mental health. Other aspects are the problems of published demographics, the construction of public opinion about these children and the, often violent, reactions from authorities. The book then discusses current research on children in street situations, as well as programs and policies. The book ends with recommendations about programs, policies and research.

Download or read book Conquistadores de la Calle written by Thomas A. Offit and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive, book-length study of its kind, Conquistadores de la Calle presents the findings of nearly two years of ethnographic research on the streets of Guatemala City, toppling conventional wisdom that the region's youth workers are solely victims, or that their labor situations are entirely the result of poverty and family breakdown. Documenting the voices and experiences of the city's working children, this fascinating study reveals counterintuitive motivations for those who choose to abandon schooling in favor of participating more fully in their families' economies. The processes of developing skills and planning for their social and economic futures are covered in depth, presenting evidence that many members of this population operate well above survival level and are decidedly not marginalized or members of an underclass. Conquistadores de la Calle also makes important distinctions between these young workers—a generation of Maya and Ladino boys and girls—and the homeless children or gang youth who have been so much more widely studied. Contextualizing a variety of data, ranging from detailed ethnographic portraits of the children's lives and the monthly income of children engaged in common street vocations (such as shining shoes or serving as porters) to educational histories and socialization activities, Thomas Offit has produced a rich trove of findings in a significant segment of urban economics that is tremendously important for anthropologists, Latin Americanists, and those interested in the lives and labors of children in the cities of the developing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[The book] has been specifically designed to bring the work of developmental psychologists together with that of historians of childhood, psychological anthropologists, sociologists, psycholinguists, and experts in other fields, to examine the diversity of children's development in the complex, changing social contexts in which it occurs. In the [book's] chapters ... we will be studying children as they change within these developing contexts. Through this study we will be led to a deeper understanding of the many forces that bring about change--change in individuals, in families, in societies, and in humankind"--Introd.

Download or read book Malunde written by Jill Swart and published by Witwatersrand University Press Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiilbrow is a densely-populated flatland in Johannesburg. A thriving, bustling area, it combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a high crime rate, begging, vagrancy, prostitution, drug running and theft. In this turbulent society, the street children of Hillbrow have created their own community. Jill Swart's Malunde is a tribute to the courage, resourcefulness and humour which inform the lives of Hillbrow's street children. In providing a selection of the children's drawings, accounts from their own experiences and excerpts from case studies, Swart offers us access to the complexity of life on the streets: we glimpse adversity and humiliation as well as companionship and hope. This book achieves a balance between the insider's view and the more analytical perspective of the observer. Additional insight is provided through comparisons of Hillbrow street children with their international counterparts. Jill Swart, a social anthropologist, conducted her research for this book while pursuing a master's degree at UNISA . She has devoted much time to working with street children and co-founded Proscess, a shelter for these children in Hillbrow.
