Growing Up in a Changing Society

Growing Up in a Changing Society

The final reader in the Child Development in Social Context series shows how the study of child development is inevitably bound up in more ephemeral cultural ideas about the nature and needs of children and in the educational practices that rise from these ideas. Some readings point to the dangers which can arise from the meeting of science and cultural values using for illustration studies of the role of psychological theory in reinforcing social attitudes to child care inside and outside the family. Other readings look at children's initiation into that relatively recent cultural invention the school and the relationship with their learning at home. There are studies of their social development in classroom and playground with particular emphasis on ethnic relationships. | Growing Up in a Changing Society

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

We think of cults as bizarre inexplicable or otherworldly places that only strange people inhabit but cults and other abusive and high-demand groups (and relationships) are actually quite commonplace. In fact the behaviors social pressures and authoritarian structures that create cults exist to a greater or lesser extent in every human relationship and every human group. In the first in-depth research of its kind the author interviewed sixty-five people who were born in or grew up in thirty-nine different cultic groups spanning more than a dozen countries. What’s especially interesting about these individuals is that they each left the cult on their own without outside help or internal support. In Escaping Utopia: Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over the authors craft Lalich’s original and groundbreaking research into an accessible and engaging book the first of its kind focusing on this particular population. | Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. Easy to read often witty the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. | Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Victims of Political Violence and Terrorism Making Up Resilient Survivors

This book examines the survivors of political violence and terrorism considering both how they have responded and how they have been responded to following critical incidents.

Examining knowledge about resilience from a multitude of sources including security policy media academic literature and the survivors themselves this book contends that in order to make empirical sense of resilience we must reckon with both its discursive and practical manifestations. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology victimology criminal justice and all those interested in the stories of survivors. | Victims of Political Violence and Terrorism Making Up Resilient Survivors

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning
