Eden's Exiles (Paperback): Jan Breytenbach Eden's Exiles (Paperback)
Jan Breytenbach
R263 Discovery Miles 2 630 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

"This is the story of war and conservation, a drama enacted in a theatre in the southwestern corner of Africa. Author Jan Breytenbach, a legend in military circles, and the founder of South African special forces ? the Recces ? describes how he discovered that Military Intelligence was involved in illegal wildlife trade with Jonas Savimbi. To his horror and astonishment, senior officers were also using the MI created ivory-smuggling routes for their own corrupt ends. A must-read on a little known topic of the South African Border War, Angolan Civil War, and the de facto genocide of southern Africa's Big Five, particularly the elephant.

Ugandan Asians in Great Britain - Forced Migration and Social Absorption (Hardcover): William G. Kuepper, G. Lynne Lackey,... Ugandan Asians in Great Britain - Forced Migration and Social Absorption (Hardcover)
William G. Kuepper, G. Lynne Lackey, E.Nelson Swinerton
R2,694 Discovery Miles 26 940 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ugandan Asians in Great Britain (1975) examines the impact of the 1972 immigration of 28,000 Asians expelled from Uganda, looking at the impact on both the immigrants themselves and the British host community. It is an attempt to understand some of the dynamics of forced migrant transition from one society and culture to another. The study was largely carried out in Wandsworth and Slough and shows how these communities - not without social problems before this influx of immigrants - adapted to the new arrivals. The sensitivity and effectiveness of the community relations organisations and the welfare agencies in these areas is revealed.

S Chandrasekhar
R3,409 Discovery Miles 34 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Asia's Population Problems (1967) features papers written by specialists - demographers, economists and sociologists - examining the various population issues facing different Asian countries in the decades following the Second World War. Population facts and policies, apart from affecting an individual's happiness and security and a nation's economic and social advancement, have come to play an important role in international relations. A proper understanding of demographic trends is key, and this volume aims to supply significant population facts and figures, and also provides the general national, economic and political framework of each country against which certain international demographic attitudes, approaches and policies may be understood.

S. N Eisenstadt
R2,867 Discovery Miles 28 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Absorption of Immigrants (1954) examines the assimilation of immigrants in the Yishuv (the Jewish Community in Palestine) and in the State of Israel. It provides a historical analysis of the social structure of the Yishuv and of the development of the new Israeli society. The book also applies the general framework to the analysis of some main types of modern migrations and a series of tentative conclusions is given which may serve as detailed hypotheses for subsequent inquiries. In this way a comparative study of different types of migrations and absorption of immigrants is built up, and an objective evaluation can be made of the place of an Israeli Society among other communities, and their special ways of absorbing new immigrants.

The Americanization Syndrome - A Quest for Conformity (Hardcover): Robert A Carlson The Americanization Syndrome - A Quest for Conformity (Hardcover)
Robert A Carlson
R2,855 Discovery Miles 28 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Americanization Syndrome (1987) examines the historical role of education in the process of 'Americanization'. It argues that beginning with seventeenth century puritan leaders such as John Winthrop and Cotton Maher, the pattern of American education has been not the promotion of a blend of different cultures but the indoctrination of norms of belief of religion, politics and economics and an explicit discouragement of cultural variety. It traces the political role of education at key junctures of American history - after Independence, in the reconstruction of the South after the Civil War, in the establishment of settlement houses and the use of scientific management techniques by employers. The author focuses on the period 1900-1925 when new waves of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe led to a new drive for orthodoxy.

Henry T. Trueba, Cirenio Rodriguez, Yali Zou, Jose Cintron
R2,856 Discovery Miles 28 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Healing Multicultural America (1993) looks at a group of Mexican immigrants who managed to understand and use the US democratic system to gain access to the 'American Dream'. The book aims to assist its readers to understand the significance of the politics of education for ethnic minorities. The authors point up the gravity of the problems experienced by minority groups worldwide which cannot be underestimated: problems such as inter-ethnic conflict, cultural tensions, poverty, alienation, violence and self-rejection.

Concha Delgado-Gaitan, Henry Trueba
R2,856 Discovery Miles 28 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Crossing Cultural Borders (1991) examines the day-to-day interaction of immigrant children with adults, siblings and peers in the home, school and community at large as these families demonstrate their skill in using their culture to survive in a new society. Children of Mexican and Central American immigrant families in Secoya crossed a national border, and continue to cross linguistic, social and cultural borders that separate the home, school and outside world.

Minorities in the Open Society - Prisoners of Ambivalence (Hardcover): Geoff Dench Minorities in the Open Society - Prisoners of Ambivalence (Hardcover)
Geoff Dench
R2,867 Discovery Miles 28 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Minorities in the Open Society (1986) challenges optimistic assumptions regarding race relations in western nations, namely that social justice will prevail without much effort. It examines the interests behind public affirmations of commitment to integration, and presents a range of contemporary and historical material which illustrate the double-binds created for minorities by the dominant communities, who offer equality with one hand while obstructing it with the other. Individual members of minorities may be given the opportunity to achieve social prominence - but only to carry out special jobs on behalf of the majority.

A Land of Dreams - A Study of Jewish and Caribbean Migrant Communities in England (Hardcover): Simon Taylor A Land of Dreams - A Study of Jewish and Caribbean Migrant Communities in England (Hardcover)
Simon Taylor
R2,859 Discovery Miles 28 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A Land of Dreams, first published in 1993, explores two events in recent English history: the settlement of East European Jews in the East End of London, and the growth of an African-Caribbean community in Birmingham. It is an ethnographic study of two first-generation migrant communities, built upon the experiences of the migrants themselves. It focuses on the stories of their migration and their early days in England, and in particular, upon the stories of their working lives and their everyday struggles in their new land. Placing two studies side by side exposes the quite different social and economic conditions which confronted the two groups of migrants upon arrival in England.

Point of Arrival (1975) examines the experiences of the various immigrant groups - the Huguenots, Irish, Jews, Pakistanis - who have made their home in the East End of London. This was their point of arrival in a new country, and for many it was the only England they were to know.

Carmel Schrire
R1,267 Discovery Miles 12 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume documents the analysis of excavated historical archaeological collections at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. The corpus provides a rich picture of life and times at this distant outpost of an immense Dutch seaborne empire during the contact period. Representing over three decades of excavation, conservation, and analysis, the book examines ceramics, glass, metal, and other categories of artifacts in their archaeological contexts. An enclosed CD includes a video reconstruction plus a comprehensive catalog and color illustrations of the artifacts in the corpus. The parallels and contrasts this volume reveals will help scholars studying the European expansion period to build a richer comparative picture of colonial material culture.

Cultural Conflict and Adaptation (1990) examines the alienation and cultural conflicts faced at school by the children of a small group of Hmong who have settled in La Playa, California. The educational process for these children is an example of cultural conflict and adjustment patterns which may be found in many other populations in the world.

One Way Ticket - Migration and Female Labour (Hardcover): Annie Phizacklea One Way Ticket - Migration and Female Labour (Hardcover)
Annie Phizacklea
R2,700 Discovery Miles 27 000 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

One Way Ticket (1983) examines the 'hidden armies' of migrant women workers who have since the 1950s fulfilled a demand for low-skilled, low paid and insecure work in both the formal and informal economies of Western Europe. It presents a new focus for the examination of labour migration and of the specific character of female employment. It looks at the relationship between motherhood, waged work and ethnicity; the position of a second generation of black women workers; and the oppression and exploitation of migrant women by their male counterparts through the creation of 'ethnic' economies.

John Rex, Sally Tomlinson, David Hearnden, Peter Ratcliffe
R3,418 Discovery Miles 34 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Colonial Immigrants in a British City (1979) analyses the relationship between West Indian and Asian immigrants and the class structure of a British city. Based on a four-year research project in the Handsworth area of Birmingham, the book is a study of race and community relations - political, social, economic and personal - in a major centre of immigrant settlement. It considers the relationship between housing class and class formations and consciousness in other sectors of allocation, such as employment and education. It includes a consideration of the changing political climate on race relations between 1950 and 1976.

The Development of British Immigration Law (Hardcover): Vaughan Bevan The Development of British Immigration Law (Hardcover)
Vaughan Bevan
R3,733 Discovery Miles 37 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Development of British Immigration Law (1986) examines the policies and laws of immigration law in the UK. It demonstrates that many modern issues have historical precedents. The justifications for immigration control are examined and linked to a discussion of nationality law and race relations. It is argued that the laws and practices of immigration are unnecessarily rigid and racist, both in design and in effect; that the record of the UK is a sorry chapter in the field of human rights but one which is consistent with international state practice; that immigration is an ideal model to illustrate the UK's general treatment of civil liberties. Particular aspects of the subject are examined in depth to illustrate the attitudes of government, the courts and civil servants.

Specific studies are described, and the theoretical framework used to describe population mobility is presented.
