The preponderance of males over females in the population of India has been a subject of concern and controversy since the late eighteenth century. This book addresses the fact of, and the reasons for, unbalanced sex ratios among children in present-day rural India and considers some of the cultural links between the present and the past. Barbara Miller examines sex ratios throughout the world to explore how culture affects these ratios, specially among juveniles, and then focuses on India to demonstrate how the practice of female infanticide has altered the proportions of the sexes. A regional and social pattern of infanticide is then uncovered to show that this practice is most prevalent in north-west India and among the higher castes there. The book illustrates the powerful relationship between culture and mortality. Culture often plays an important role in determining those targeted for death; in this case the target group is north Indian girls.

To date, the majority of HIV/AIDS research has concentrated on education and prevention for those with a seronegative status, while studies of HIV positive individuals have been concerned with their potential to infect others. The Endangered Self however, focuses on how the discovery of an HIV positive status affects the individual's sense of identity, on the experience of living with HIV and its effects on the individual's social relationships. In this comparative study of the UK and US, Green and Sobo explore identity change and the stigma attached to an HIV positive status within the context of the sociology of risk. Chapters discuss issues such as: *identity, social risk and AIDS *stigma *living and coping with HIV *the danger of disclosure *reported reactions in health care settings and sexual settings *risk and reality *seropositivity. The Endangered Self will be of interest to all those infected with HIV and to their families, partners, friends and caregivers who are affected by it. It will be essential reading for health-care professionals and those studying medical anthropology, sociology and health and risk studies.

HIV and AIDS are having a profound impact on contemporary life in Thailand, generating complex issues with far-reaching implications for both the Thai people and on a global level. AIDS has become an increasingly prominent symbol of modernity in Thailand, yet ways of dealing with AIDS and HIV draw on time-honoured understandings of fate and misfortune, disease and contagion, gender and pollution. Endangered Relations provides a crucial analysis of how public health has attempted to control the threat of HIV infection, and how this has combined with local understandings of identity and sexuality; it sets in place a broad range of personal and social responses to the ongoing epidemic. An illuminating study of the way in which Thai social relations, and in particular Thai sexualities, shape the history of HIV and AIDS in Thailand, Endangered Relations offers a unique perspective on the complicated ways that disease is negotiated in cultural, political, and human terms.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...as they are by prostitution. To the woman who is friendless and in need, the only choice open is thus one of taste--in which way does she prefer to sacrifice her womanhood? The right of women to independent remunerated labor has been forced from the hands of a reluctant society. The granting of this right was inevitable for reasons we shall have to discuss in detail in the section of this book which deals with the bearing of the woman's movement upon the sexual crisis. Here, where we are concerned solely with an exposition of the necessity of prostitution, we need merely say that society never ceases to demonstrate to women its low esteem for their independent remunerated labor, by starvation rates of pay and by the enormous difficulty even at those rates of finding employment. There is only one way in which a young woman who is hungry and penniless can immediately get bread, and that is by prostitution. The logical outcome of this should be the social protection of prostitution, since it obviously satisfies a social need. It is not because prostitution is more highly remunerated than any other occupation open to women for which there exists an effective economic demand, nor yet because it requires less labor and less effort than any other occupation, that prostitution attracts a socially endangered and sinking womanly material as a candle-flame attracts moths; the chief reason for this attraction lies in the circumstance that the earnings of prostitution are paid immediately in cash, and that this field of earning is open to women whenever they are in need, whereas every other possible occupation must be diligently sought by elaborate and costly means, and the woman must long remain hungry before she can obtain the least reward for her...

George Gilder has written on of the most important books on sex, society and the women's role to have appeared in many years. Sexual differences, Gilder asserts, are at the root of our entire moral and social order. In a book that has been compared to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, he demonstrates that just as our natural environment is being endangered, our sexual ecology is threatened by a pollution of ideas and technology. The result is an erosion of love and family that reduces sex to a from of meaningless sensual massage. Both men and women are losers, and the society succumbs to anarchy and crime. Gilder argues that the "women's liberation" movement leads finally to a bitter harvest of male chauvinism and sexual conflict. The chief effect of feminism is not to liberate women, but to liberate men to oppress them. For all but an elite of careerists, the movement subjects women to a new bondage to the marketplace--freeing them not for creative careers but for mops, switchboards, and sexual exploitation. He believe that most observers in the women's movement and elsewhere fail to understand the vital economic and social importance of love, it is through love that men are induced to submit their impulsive and short-circuited sexuality to the long term goals and horizons of female sexuality: motherhood, family and community. Love is crucial to sustaining civilization and sexual differences are crucial to sustaining love. Examining a wealth of anthropological, economic, social, and psychological data, Gilder demonstrates that familial breakdown is the chief cause of the violence and drug addiction, the welfare explosion and the crime that afflict our nation's cities. By weakening family ties, the women' movement programs would worsen these problems. Crucial to restoring the balance of the sexes is maintenance of the male role as provider. Although career women make indispensable contributions to the nation's welfare and economy, the woman in the home performs the most important work of civilized society. From her maternal and domestic responsibilities derive the moral and social values necessary to human individuality and democracy. The alternative is a child care state to care for children and a police state to discipline men. Pointing to statistics proving that single men are the chief source of crime and social disruption, Gilder argues that marriage is essential to male socialization in the modern world--from dust jacket
