In its long history of serving as a major world power, the United States has had only one major colonial possession in the Asia-Pacific - the Philippines. Soon after achieving victory in World War II, the US granted independence to the Philippines, while the European powers were striving hard to retain their colonial possessions. Why did the new global superpower end its colonial rule, while the weaker European imperial powers were tempted to keep theirs? It was actually a master political stroke by the Truman Administration. While giving political independence to the Filipinos, it deftly erected a structure of an unequal relationship with the Philippines to turn the country into a powerful military bastion to serve American interests. One of the consequences of this policy was reflected in Washington's need to maneuver and engineer the election process in the Philippines in order to keep in place a pro-American head of state. Filipino presidents, in the early 1950s, were made in the US, while elections took place in the Philippines. Based on archival research, this book examines the historical relationship between these two countries.

The ongoing globalization process has created an atmosphere of excitement for instant economic growth. But moving quickly up the economic ladder does not mean much unless it brings social development. With gender equality being a concern around the globe, new books and literature on women's development have been appearing at a rapid pace. In India, the 'feminization' of jobs is less meaningful because the widespread commercialization process displaces women. The neo-patriarchy gradually gets institutionalized at several spheres - in work, culture, customs, religion, and education. A woman is not free to think as an individual. Technology and science have remained divisive. Even among India's educated class, there has not been a decrease in certain sociological 'values,' including: the preference of giving birth to boys, the drop out rate among girl students, and dowry and dowry-related deaths. A meaningful social transformation is needed, which gives equal status to women. Empowerment of women is not a product but a process to evolve from society itself, yet should not to be triggered by outside donors or agencies. This book argues for women's development in India. It examines the gender implications of the economic development process. It highlights the impact of industrialization and economic development on women. It analyzes gender equality under the broader framework of human development and it argues that the idea of women's development should be less nebulous and more practical. An adequate priority should be given to women's empowerment in order to build a prosperous society. Gender Dynamics in Economic Development of India shows that national policies are the key determinants of women's development. It incisively focuses on powerful economic and social dynamics. This text will benefit planners, policy makers, and social activists, redefining how the policy maker should think about full range of gender issues for building a modern society.

In the United States, cultural pluralism and the governmental programs it has inspired, such as bilingual education and multilingual ballots, have convinced many recent immigrants that it is not necessary to learn English to become an American. Some immigrants have not only failed to assimilate into the mainstream, but have refused to assimilate. These individuals feel encouraged to change the society in which they have settled, instead of assimilating into that society. Attempts to declare English as the official language have been branded as a conspiracy to undermine minority languages and cultures. This book discusses the need for English to be declared the official language of the United States. The Official English movement, which has succeeded in getting 30 states to adopt English as their official language, is a concerted effort by mainstream Americans (not necessarily of Anglo-American descent) to reinforce America's assimilationist ideal and to create an ethnically diverse, but culturally united, America. The book looks at the need for a new model of assimilation, which rejects cultural pluralism as unsuitable for the American experience, as the need of the hour.
