Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China $175 Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes. Based on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the issue of unemployment and the problems it has brought for the people of China. Investigating the market outcomes in post-reform urban China, the book focuses on the relationships between unemployment, inequality, and poverty. In addition, the authors provide an analysis on the emerging urban labour market and its stratified structure, job mobility, profit sharing, and the role of social capital. Empirical analysis is supported by rich data from nationally representative urban household and rural migrant surveys, providing the latest picture of the widening inequality in Chinese urban society. |

A Diasporan Mormon’s Life $35 Offering a glimpse into the lives of upwardly mobile Mormon professionals, this series of personal essays by author Dr. Robert S. Jordan describes his odyssey as a third-generation Mormon of polygamous descent whose family ascended from rural pioneer poverty to upper middle-class social and economic success. A Diasporan Mormon’s Life chronicles the life of Jordan, a child of the Mormon Diasporans who left the social and cultural isolation of Utah for a more secular, modern America. This memoir describes his struggle to find his personal identity from the tensions created between his religious heritage and his secular upbringing. Jordan’s life is remarkably varied. He studied at East Coast and California high schools, state universities such as UCLA and the University of Utah, and institutions such as Princeton and Oxford. He witnessed World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, Vietnam, and survived Hurricane Katrina. He lived in large urban centers and locations on the global periphery. He engaged in academic research and teaching, university administration, and government service. A searching, informative, and entertaining memoir enhanced with numerous photos, this memoir distills and clarifies the experiences of his generation and contributes to the history and sociology of twentieth-century Mormonism. |

A profile of the qualifications of special education teachers among high poverty, urban, and rural schools. $49.99 The purpose of this study was to provide a descriptive profile of the special education teachers in the SASS:04 sample and to examine how the qualifications of special education teachers varied among K-12 public schools according to the urbanicity or proportion of students in poverty within a school. Variables related to teacher qualifications, demographic characteristics, teaching positions, and school characteristics were identified from the 2003-04 Schools and Staffing Survey database. Descriptive bivariate statistics and logistic regression analysis were used in this study.;The findings demonstrated statistically significant differences in the qualifications of special educators among many of the subgroups analyzed. The analysis by demographic characteristics revealed that minority group members, younger special educators, and male special educators were less qualified than other special education teachers. Inspection of qualifications by school level and teaching assignment also found statistically significant differences. The investigation of the qualifications of special educators by poverty quartiles and by urban areas revealed a statistically significant relationship between qualifications and the type of school analyzed.;The findings emphasize the need to provide targeted interventions to promote supplying all schools with qualified special education teachers. The findings also indicate that qualified special education teachers may not be equitably distributed and that further work in this area is necessary. |

African American Life in the Rural South, 1900-1950 $39.95  During the first half of the twentieth century, degradation, poverty, and hopelessness were commonplace for African Americans who lived in the South’s countryside, either on farms or in rural communities. Many southern blacks sought relief from these conditions by migrating to urban centers. Many others, however, continued to live in rural areas. Scholars of African American rural history in the South have been concerned primarily with the experience of blacks as sharecroppers, tenant farmers, textile workers, and miners. Less attention has been given to other aspects of the rural African American experience during the early twentieth century.African American Life in the Rural South, 1900–1950 provides important new information about African American culture, social life, and religion, as well as economics, federal policy, migration, and civil rights. The essays particularly emphasize the efforts of African Americans to negotiate the white world in the southern countryside.Filling a void in southern studies, this outstanding collection provides a substantive overview of the subject. Scholars, students, and teachers of African American, southern, agricultural, and rural history will find this work invaluable. |

Analysis of T.E and A.E of APEP on Maize Farmers; Masindi District (U) $59 Uganda is one of the Developing Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa whose major employer is Agriculture in Rural Areas. Only 20% of ugandans live in Urban setting and majority (80%) live in rural area and mainly depend on Agriculture as their source of Income and general livilhood. Based on this statistics most economists still think modernation of agriculture and increased number of Agro-based industry are the sole engine for Economic development. As a result of this philosophy many policies have been developed in Uganda to boost Agricultural productivity and value addition. NGOs and other partners in development have suggested programs geared towards the set policies. However few impact studies have been carried out to estimate the impact of these programs in relationship to the set policies. Thus set the background of this study. This Study helps both Donors and developing countries to set their goals right and thus faster acomplishment of the Millennium Goals. I Kibirige Douglas a Ugandan private Agricultural Economist wish to work towards poverty eradication in Developing countries and Helping Donors set their priorities right for development. |

Anti-hunger policy in Brazil and Venezuela: A comparative historical study. $49.99 Hunger remains a problem in Latin America. This thesis compares the approaches taken by Brazil and Venezuela to combating it, focusing on each country’s largest anti-hunger program: the Fome Zero program of conditional cash transfers to low income households in Brazil, and the Mision Mercal program of subsidized food in local public grocery stores in Venezuela. Both programs came about because Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Brazilian President Lula represent sectors of society long marginalized from the political process—the urban and rural poor who seek programs to reduce poverty and promote economic equality. Brazil chose its approach due to limited resources, the need to appease international capital, and a fragmented party system. Venezuela chose its approach because of greater access to revenue, reduced state capacity, and an ideology focused on developing an alternative to capitalism (the “Endogenous Model”) dependent on local social organization. |
