Mirage and Reality

But one devil had been driven out by another — possibly a more decent devil, but
a devil nevertheless. The saviours made themselves at home, and although
Nehru, following mediation in the United Nations, undertook to hold a plebiscite,
he subsequently shirked the implementation of his promise with one lame excuse
after another. " We are an occupied country," Mahmud declared sulkily. " The
place is swarming with police informers, and anyone speaking out against the

Livelihoods, Entitlements and Capabilities

Food security is one of the twenty-first century’s key global challenges, and lessons learned from India have particular significance worldwide. Not only does India account for approximately one quarter of the world’s under-nourished persons, it also provides a worrying case of how rapid economic growth may not provide an assumed panacea to food security. This book takes on this challenge. It explains how India’s chronic food security problem is a function of a distinctive interaction of economic, political and environmental processes. It contends that under-nutrition and hunger are lagging components of human development in India precisely because the interfaces between these aspects of the food security problem have not been adequately understood in policy-making communities. Only through an integrative approach spanning the social and environmental sciences, are the fuller dimensions of this problem revealed. A well-rounded appreciation of the problem is required, informed by the FAO’s conception of food security as encompassing availability (production), access (distribution) and utilisation (nutritional content), as well as by Amartya Sen’s notions of entitlements and capabilities.

The Politics of Second Generation Discrimination in American Indian Education

Incidence, Explanation, and Mitigating Strategies

Academic grouping techniques are often subtle methods of discrimination that allow schools to sort students into homogenous groups. Findings indicate that American Indian students are overrepresented in lower-ability special education classes and in suspensions. Conversely, American Indian students are underrepresented in gifted classes and in graduations. A model, including American Indian representation, education, and income, as well as school district size, explains the amount of second generation discrimination faced by American Indian students. School districts that have greater American Indian political power have greater political representation on the school board and hence greater representation in school administration and in classrooms. The most important and consistent factor limiting the amount of second generation discrimination that American Indian students experience is the presence of American Indian teachers.

critics of academic grouping is Robert Slavin. His meta-analysis of numerous
studies on ability grouping found that such grouping has no positive effects on
academic achievement (Slavin 1987, 1988). This finding is reinforced by other
