Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission (Hardcover)
Seldom does one come across a truly magisterial book. Transforming Mission, through, is such a one. Bosch examines the entire sweep of Christian tradition to show historically how five paradigms have encapsulated the Christian understanding of how God saves and what human beings should do in response. With the considerable talents that make him the foremost theologian of Christian vocation and mission today, Bosch then outlines the key characteristics of an emerging “postmodern” paradigm dialectically linking salvation’s transcendent and immanent dimension.

Edited by S.N. Chaudhary
This book deals with nature and dynamics of tribal economy in India. It also discusses functional and dysfunctional implications of the changing patterns of tribal economy on physical and social quality of life of the tribal masses. Tribal economy, in relation to institutional intervention, civil society initiatives and other macro-micro factors, has been examined in a thorough manner.

TRIBAL HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Edited by S.N. Chaudhary
Health and nutrition are two interrelated issues which have drawn the attention of scholars across the world. This book, which is the outcome of a national seminar, examines different issues relating to tribal health and nutrition in India in specific context of their culture, local ecology, voluntary efforts and institutional intervention. The broad conclusion of most of the papers included in this volume highlights pitiable conditions in this regard. Scholars have however suggested ways and means to deal with inhibiting factors responsible for slow and lop-sided process of improvement in health and nutritional status of tribes. Also, some fruitful suggestions have been made in several articles. Altogether this book is a valuable contribution to the field of tribal health and nutrition. Its study would profit both the students and researchers of Sociology, Social Anthropology and Social Work.
TRIBAL INTEGRATION IN INDIA: Northeast and Beyond
Tribal Integration in India: Northeast and Beyond provides a critical insight to understand the regional concerns on tribal issues in India. Tribal population in India is heterogeneous, representing multiple cultures, languages, religious beliefs with myriad regional diversity spread from North to South and East to West, including the Northeast. Then, if this is the reality, would it be possible to think about their integration? What does integration mean in the context of tribes in India? Is it cultural integration, religious integration, ethnic integration, economic integration, social integration or political integration?
TRIBAL LAW IN INDIA
Tribal communities have been obeying customary laws through their traditional panchayats since long. Vast literature is available on religion, culture, marriage and family traditions of tribal communities living in the Fifth Schedule states or in autonomous hill districts of the north-east covered by the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. It was only in 1996 that Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act was enacted by parliament and it was enjoined upon the states having scheduled areas therein to adopt it within one year. Perhaps no exercise has yet been made to analyze in details the codified law as being implemented in the Fifth Schedule states till date and difficulties encountered in its implementation in the light of recommendations of the Bhuria Committee. In this book, an effort has been made in this direction to study laws applicable to tribal communities in different parts of India.
TRIBAL LIVELIHOOD AND GOVERNANCE: Regional Concerns
The tribes in India have experienced several legislative policies and amendments on two important issues – livelihood and governance. These two issues are important for the sustenance of a community. The first one, livelihood, addresses food security, and the second one, governance, addresses the administration of their village/habitat affairs, including food security. The traditional tribal governance system plays an important role in order to sustain their livelihood sources. Hence, these two issues, livelihood and governance, are interdependent and one influences the other with reference to the tribal life system.
TRIBAL MIGRATION
Seasonal labour Migration is an important dynamic constituent of the contemporary tribal scenario of India. The present book analyzes this basic issue that the large-scale migration is one of the survival strategies adopted by the tribals to save them from starvation, under a condition of the failure of the local support system caused due to increasing population and dwindling command over resources. The book specially reflects the ground reality of the overexploited western tribal belt of India.

TRIBAL SITUATION IN INDIA: Issues and Development (Second Revised Edition)
Comprehensively revised and updated, this second edition of Tribal Situation in India has been brought out based on reader’s feedback. After 1980, the tribal situation in India took a paradigm shift. The development went on as usual, but elite tribal groups have started raising voices for participation in various programmes and also started talking about preservation of tribal culture and identity. The old tradition of ethnographic studies is almost over. The development studies phase is there to see a sea change and the identity studies phase has been established. The Rio effect has made an impact here. The nature of tribal development as well as nature of tribal studies is changing. The book tries to capture the new trend in tribal development.
