商品描述
This book offers a detailed narrative of Dalit migrants' everyday experience in urban areas with regard to the availability and accessibility of welfare services and state institutions. It discusses caste, specifically the identity of integration for Dalit migrants and the social work profession to integrate a marginalized community. Further, the book also highlights social, political, cultural, and economic changes among Dalit migrants in cities.
The book traces the trajectory of Dalit migrants and captures their mobility from rural to urban areas, which is a complex economic and social phenomenon. In consideration of this complexity, the author explores the process of migration in its finer details through a focus on lived experiences of Dalit migrants in cities. Dalits often migrate to cities in search of better employment and livelihood opportunities because their occupations are invariably associated with their caste in villages. This book investigates the role of caste-based identity in Dalit migrants' emancipation and integration in cities. In addition, the book examines the role of caste in the exclusion of Dalit migrants in cities and explains the dynamic nature of the 'state' and Dalit migrants' assertion.
Among the topics covered in the book's seven chapters:
- Mumbai/Bombay: Migration, Caste, and Dalits
- Caste and Migration: The City--A Site for 'Inclusion' and Emancipation
- Entitlement, Deprivation, and Basic Services: Everyday Experience of Dalit Migrants with the State
Dalit Migrants: Assertion, Emancipation, and Social Change is intended for students, academicians, and researchers in social work, migration studies, labour studies, development studies, population science, and economics. Developmental professionals also will be keen to read the book.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書詳細敘述了達利特（Dalit）移民在城市中日常生活的經驗，特別是關於福利服務和國家機構的可用性與可及性。書中討論了種姓問題，特別是達利特移民的整合身份以及社會工作專業如何整合這個邊緣化社群。此外，這本書還突顯了達利特移民在城市中的社會、政治、文化和經濟變遷。
本書追溯了達利特移民的歷程，捕捉了他們從農村到城市的流動，這是一個複雜的經濟和社會現象。考慮到這種複雜性，作者透過聚焦於達利特移民在城市中的生活經驗，深入探討了移民過程的細節。達利特人通常為了尋找更好的就業和生計機會而移居城市，因為他們在村莊中的職業往往與其種姓有關。本書調查了基於種姓的身份在達利特移民解放和城市整合中的角色。此外，書中還檢視了種姓在城市中排斥達利特移民的作用，並解釋了「國家」的動態性及達利特移民的主張。
本書的七個章節涵蓋的主題包括：
- 孟買/寶萊塢：移民、種姓與達利特
- 種姓與移民：城市——「包容」與解放的場所
- 權利、剝奪與基本服務：達利特移民與國家的日常經驗
《達利特移民：主張、解放與社會變革》旨在為社會工作、移民研究、勞動研究、發展研究、人口科學和經濟學的學生、學者和研究人員提供參考。發展專業人士也會對這本書感興趣。
