Tribes In Transition: A Critical Enquiry

<p>The book Tribes in Transition: A Critical Enquiry attempts to foster meaningful discourse between organizations and individuals concerned with the empowerment and welfare of tribal people in Indian society emphasizing tribal issues in Kerala. The papers are drawn from a variety of sources (academic and non-academic): universities social workers grass-roots organizations non-governmental organizations and academicians from a group of people from different states including Maharashtra Jharkhand New Delhi Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The book aims to highlight the potentials and limitations of the government and non-governmental sector's involvement with excluded groups. Additionally this discussion strives to clarify challenges in the development sector and to improve coordination between diverse departments such as Anthropology Sociology History Social Work Political Science and Law. The challenges raised on the platform are critical not just for research purposes but also for determining the best ways in which they might serve as lessons for the tribal sector. The book's overall goal is to encourage all those concerned with tribal welfare to contact more frequently. This is an excellent way of evaluating the various points of view in the field and analyzing the differences to incorporate them and move toward a more integrative approach to tribal issues.</p>
