We Shall Live Again: The 1870 and 1890 Ghost Dance Movements as Demographic Revitalization
ISBN: 9780521328944 / Angielski / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of the 1870 and 1890 Ghost Dance movements among North American Indians offers an innovative theory about why these movements arose when they did. Emphasizing the demographic situation of American Indians prior to the movements, Professor Thornton argues that the Ghost Dances were deliberate efforts to accomplish a demographic revitalization of American Indians following their virtual collapse. By joining the movements, he contends, tribes sought to assure survival by increasing their numbers through returning the dead to life. Thornton supports this thesis empirically by closely...

Population, Gender and Politics: Demographic Change in Rural North India
ISBN: 9780521466530 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, a study of the population processes of two castes in north India, the authors ask why fertility levels are higher among the Muslim Sheikhs than the Hindu Jats. They conclude that explanations can only partly be attributed to gender and religion, and that economic and political status is a defining factor. The book has implications for the understanding of population and politics in India generally, and will be invaluable to students of the region and anyone interested in the demography of developing countries.

ISBN: 9780521554527 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a detailed examination of the demographic policy of Mussolini's Fascist regime.
