Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s the number of Indian immigrants and their descendants living in the United States has grown dramatically. During the same period, the make-up of this community has also changed—the highly educated professional elite who came to this country from the subcontinent in the 1960s has given way to a population encompassing many from the working and middle classes. In her fascinating account of Indian immigrants in New York City, Madhulika S. Khandelwal explores the ways in which their world has evolved over four decades.How did this highly diverse ethnic group form an identity and community? Drawing on her extensive interviews with immigrants, Khandelwal examines the transplanting of Indian culture onto the Manhattan and Queens landscapes. She considers festivals and media, food and dress, religious activities of followers of different faiths, work and class, gender and generational differences, and the emergence of a variety of associations.Khandelwal analyzes how this growing ethnic community has gradually become "more Indian," with a stronger religious focus, larger family networks, and increasingly traditional marriage patterns. She discusses as well the ways in which the American experience has altered the lives of her subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with issues in economic development in India. It highlights those factors that are indicative of India’s emergence in the global economy yet indicates negative "trickle down" effects, such as malnutrition, poverty, bonded labourers, high adult unemployment and the widespread use of child labour. Focusing on structural deficiencies for a steady growth rate, and how to make growth inclusive, the book examines duality in development and the factors standing between national economic prosperity and human development. The author analyses issues concerning international trade, technology, access to food, inequality and poverty, and the "catching up" of developing countries.

With India as a case study, this book provides a solid framework for looking at developing economies which will be useful to policy-makers and to graduate and post-doctoral students and researchers in the areas of development studies and economics, industrialisation and structural change.

Book Synopsis The original Americans: US Indians by : James Wilson
Download or read book The original Americans: US Indians written by James Wilson and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1980-06-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The Trail of Broken Treaties’ was the name given to a major protest by US Indians. It reflected their anger at their continued suffering more than a century after their final defeat by US forces. At the time of Columbus, there were probably more than 600 autonomous Indian societies, ranging from tiny hunting and gathering bands to sophisticated agricultural nations. Despite their differences, all shared a complex pattern of interwoven relationships and a deep feeling for their land and their way of life.Initially, many Indian peoples welcomed and assisted the colonists but their kindness was repaid by brutality, dispossession and death. The invaders advanced into the interior of the continent, displacing the people and destroying the environment. The Indians fought back using entreaty, law and force. The treaties they negotiated with the government were ignored and broken and they were gunned down and herded into ‘reservations’. Their land and livelihood were stolen from them, their religion and culture ignored and the Indian peoples were forced to live on the margins of mainstream society. Today, one and a half million US Indians are fighting back – for land and water rights, to stop destructive mining and ranching, against stifling government bureaucracy and for new initiatives in education, health and justice. The Original Americans: US Indians gives a detailed account of the history of Indian/White relations and the frustrations faced by Indians today. Written by James Wilson who travelled extensively in the US gathering material for this report, it is essential reading for teachers, students, the media and all those fighting for indigenous peoples rights.
