Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alarmingly high rate of secondary school dropout among Mexican-origin students in the United States has been well documented statistically, but little has been written on the school experiences of these students in barrio elementary schools of northern states. This study aims to fill the gap by providing a multidimensional perspective on the achievement and educational experiences of Mexican-origin elementary school students. The goal is to contribute to a deepened understanding of the complex interplay of factors which ultimately lead to these students becoming educational casualties. The methods are those traditional to the ethnographic genre: long-term on-site participation and observation, open-ended interviews, and descriptive data. Triangulation is provided by the inclusion of survey/statistical data relative to the research site, the barrio, and the larger metropolitan area. Interviews with students, parents, and school personnel reveal their feelings, perceptions, and opinions regarding educational backgrounds, school experiences, and aspirations. Five longitudinal case studies describe the lives and school experiences of these potential dropouts/pushouts. Although this study was exploratory and descriptive, several tentative conclusions emerged: dropouts are primarily made, not born; the chain of events is forged in the elementary school, and the consequences are only visibly ratified later. The school success of Mexican-origin students is an interactively determined phenomenon dependent on the combined cooperation and involvement of the three environments which mold the child: family, school, and barrio. Family/school involvement is essential, with strong family communication a necessary component for the successful student. However, it is also clear that the school has the responsibility to analyze and correct the academic failures of the child at the earliest stages. While appropriate measures to assist the non-English- and limited-English-speaking student must be undertaken by the school--with early intervention critical--the approach must be holistic in nature and must address current inequities in the environments of these students. If any significant improvement is to occur, the contextual and academic aspects of the students' school achievement, as well as the economic circumstances of their families, must become a source of concern and action for society as a whole.

Download or read book Caste State and Society written by Jagpal Singh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the politics of social, cultural and political recognition of caste groups in North India. It explores the factors that make some castes politically influential, while others continue to remain socially and economically marginalized. The author situates these groups within democracy and utilizes a multicultural framework to understand why and when various castes have sought to achieve recognition and redistributive justice; to what extent different castes have been able to achieve these goals; and how civil society has engaged with these issues. Unlike dominant discourses on caste and democracy, which give primacy to electoral/procedural democracy over the substantive one, this book views the relationship between castes and the state in both dimensions of democracy. An important addition to the study of caste politics in India, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of social exclusion, development studies, minority studies, sociology and social policy, politics, and South Asian studies. It will also be of importance to politicians, policy makers, and civil society activists.
Download or read book Stratagems And Spoils written by F.g. Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F.G. Bailey's classic political-anthropology text is reissued here with a Postscript that comments critically on the book's scope, its reception, and its uses. First published in 1969, Stratagems and Spoils captured the imagination of scholars and students with a revealing examination of principles of political competition that operate alike in ?exotic? and ?developed? societies. In Bailey's analysis, Swat Pathan chiefs, cosa nostra gangsters, General de Gaulle, and the Untouchables in a rural Indian village (for example) are shown employing similar strategies, both effective and ineffective, to win and hold followers while eroding the support of their opponents. Provocative and insightful, Stratagems and Spoils provides a conceptual toolkit for analyzing, in any culture, the rules that regulate political contests and determine who will win and who will lose.
Download or read book Class and Conflict written by Elizabeth Chatterjee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, Pranab Bardhan published his classic work The Political Economy of Development in India. It went on to become one of the most influential references on the political economy of development in the pre-reform period of independent India. Class and Conflict reflects on the enduring influence of Bardhan’s original publication in the context of post-liberalization developments in India. Drawing on their own world-leading research, the contributors to this volume engage with a wide range of issues, such as whether big business dominates India today, how subsidies retard economic growth, and how the middle classes are transforming politics. Together they try to answer the big question: what has really changed in the political and economic climate of the country over the last 30 years? Exploring the continuities and changes that have characterized India’s political economy since 1984, this volume takes stock of the main challenges of India’s economic development today. It contributes to current debates on economic growth, crony capitalism, agrarian crisis, the politics of class and caste, and the role of the state in a liberalizing economy.
Download or read book Faith Gender and Activism in the Punjab Conflict written by Mallika Kaur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of post-colonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This book makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence—or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab’s human rights movement: Baljit Kaur, who armed herself with a video camera to record essential evidence of the conflict; Justice Ajit Singh Bains, who became a beloved “people’s judge”; and Inderjit Singh Jaijee, who returned to Punjab to document abuses even as other elites were fleeing. Together, they are credited with saving countless lives. Braiding oral histories, personal snapshots, and primary documents recovered from at-risk archives, Kaur shows that when entire conflicts are marginalized, we miss essential stories: stories of faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists.
