[EAN: 9788175280038], Neubuch, [PU: Mittal Publications, New Delhi], 8175280034, SOCIAL STRAINS OF GLOBALIZATION IN INDIA, MERLIN A. TABER & SUSHMA BATRA, MITTAL PUBLICATIONS, 475, DIRECT, V + 367pp Thirtyeight case studies show the human side of ?globalization. Written by social workers from all parts of India, these studies reveal the impact of social change on families and communities. Women, men, children and communities from every section are represented. Dynamics of family and community problems are depicted through the daily lives of individuals suffering from poverty, social isolation, pressures of modern urban life, or personal problems of addiction of handicap. A hopeful and encouraging thread runs through these case examples because, in many cases, the people facing difficulties have joined their efforts with each other or with social workers to solve them and improve their lives. Written by professionals or volunteer helpers, these studies focus on human problems rather than helping programmes. Each case example begins with the depiction of the problem situation and how it affects the everyday family or community life. the struggle for a better life and its outcome are also presented. Each case example offers a glimpse of the real-life suffering in some section of Indian society and efforts at improvement. Every reader will find something of interest. The old problems of poverty and discrimination have a new face under the impact of economic development and this book is only a sample of such problems in India today. In addition the globalization of Indian society has brought new problems such as doubled demands on working women, forced relocation of poor families, increased alcoholism, abandonment of older parents, increased dowry demands, and higher school pressures for achievement. The book may be read as a meaningful survey of the social problems today, for its human interest, or seen as a picture of the current social work practice in the form of actual cases. Professor Taber was Fulbright Lecturer in India during 1994-95. His duties brought him in contact with many social workers and NGO executive in every corner of India and he used the opportunity to seek their assistance in compiling this volume. Sushma Batra teaches social workers at the University of Delhi. Her years of teaching and wide acquaintance with social workers throughout India enabled her to seek out the most interesting programmes and local classes of special value for showing the impact of social and economic change on Indian families., Books<
