Perceptions of and responses to transformation among people of Indian origin in post-apartheid South Africa: 1994-1999.Singh, Anand. January 2000 (has links)
The theme of this dissertation is reflected in its title and was written to capture this particular historical juncture in post-apartheid South Africa. It was inspired by a variety of factors, including the harsh historical experiences of the Indian population since their arrival as indentured labourers in 1860, the current reassertion of ethnic identities and widespread ethnically based conflicts
throughout the world, and the minority rights campaign that is gaining momentum in Europe. The significance of the last point is that West European countries generally enjoy the status as trendsetters on social policy issues, and the rest of the developing world often tends to follow suit. In this respect, this dissertation attempts to illustrate how the views of the Indian minority on
transformation, in between the 1994 and 1999 democratic general elections, have been influenced and shaped. Their experiences were important in ascertaining their perceptions and responses to transformation. Research was carried out in the Greater Durban Area across class boundaries,
covering suburbs such as Reservoir Hills, Clare Estate, Asherville, Overport, Phoenix and Chatsworth. The outcome of this effort is contained in 229 pages consisting of ten chapters. It is viewed in the context of the circumstances that prevailed just before the county's first democratic general election of 27 April 1994, up to the period of the next general election of 2 June 1999. Of
central concern here were the dynamics surrounding the inevitable transfer of power from the White minority to representatives of the Black majority, and how the smallest ethnic minority i.e. the people of Indian origin, were reacting to this process. Research was carried out on the issues about which respondents felt very strongly. These translated into chapters on the history of violence against Indians in South Africa, the widespread impoverishment that is overshadowed by the visibility of the Indian middle and upper classes, their perceptions of informal settlements, Indian priviledge versus African empowerment in the public transport sector in Durban, finding new schools, and emigration - viewed as a solution to some and a dream to others. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2000.

Residence and Autonomy in Postcolonial MaharashtraBreton, Etienne 04 1900 (has links)
Réalisé à l'aide de données harmonisées par le Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). / Ce mémoire de maîtrise propose une réévaluation de la question désormais centenaire de la « fission » ou « nucléarisation » du ménage joint hindou (MJH). En utilisant la perspective dite « atomiste » développée par Michel Verdon (1998), nous jetons les bases d’une nouvelle modélisation de la formation et de la composition des ménages au Maharashtra postcolonial. Le mémoire sera divisé en quatre sections. La première introduit les principaux éléments de la perspective « atomiste », qu’elle opposera, dans la seconde section, aux axiomes « collectivistes » et aux explications « culturalistes » généralement rencontrés dans l’analyse ethnographique des ménages en Inde occidentale. La troisième section fournit une application qualitative de la perspective atomiste, et ce, en dressant un bref portrait ethnographique du ménage au Maharashtra pour les trois décennies suivant l’indépendance de l’Inde. La quatrième section offre une application statistique de la perspective atomiste en utilisant des données socioéconomiques et sociodémographiques rassemblées dans cinq rondes des National Sample Surveys (NSS) indiens; combinant nos hypothèses atomistes avec les « taux d’autonomie résidentielle » développés par Ermisch et Overton (1985), nous quantifions les tendances et divers déterminants de la composition des ménages au Maharashtra durant les années 1983 à 2004. Nos résultats ne montrent aucun signe d’une nucléarisation du MJH durant les années couvertes par les NSS, et indiquent qu’il s’est même produit une intensification de la subordination résidentielle et domestique des jeunes couples basés au Maharashtra entre 1993 et 2004. / This M.Sc. thesis offers a reappraisal of the century-old issue of the ‘fission’ or ‘nuclearization’ of the hindu joint household (HJH). Using Michel Verdon’s ‘atomistic perspective’ (1998), we provide a new modelling of household formation and composition in postcolonial Maharashtra. The thesis is divided into four major sections. In the first section, we introduce the main lineaments of the ‘atomistic’ perspective and we oppose it, in the second section, to the ‘collectivistic’ set of axioms and the ‘culturalist’ explanations generally used in ethnographic analyses of household formation and composition in Western India. In the third section, we apply Verdon’s atomistic framework by presenting a brief qualitative portrait of the household in Maharashtra for the first three decades after India’s independence. The fourth section offers a statistical application of the atomistic perspective using socioeconomic and demographic data available in five separate samples of India’s National Sample Surveys; combining atomistic hypotheses with Ermisch and Overton’s (1985) ‘loneship ratios’, we quantify the effects of several determinants of residential autonomy and household composition in Maharahstra for the years 1983-2004. Our results show no sign of a nuclearization of the HJH in Maharashtra, and indicate that there was even a rise in the residential and domestic subordination of young Maharashtrian couples from 1993 to 2004.

L’étranger avec qui je partage ma vie : l’enrichissement injustifié entre conjoints de fait québécoisPapaioannou, Effie Panagiota 06 1900 (has links)
Face au vide juridique encadrant leurs rapports patrimoniaux, les ex-conjoints de fait ont fait appel
au droit commun dans une tentative de remédier aux iniquités économiques découlant de leur
rupture. Les tribunaux québécois ont reconnu le besoin de combler ce vide, et c’est ainsi que le
recours en enrichissement injustifié est devenu le choix de prédilection des conjoints appauvris.
Ce recours a été façonné par la jurisprudence en remède sur mesure pour les conjoints non mariés.
Une panoplie de mesures ont été mises en place par les tribunaux pour alléger le fardeau de preuve
de l’appauvri et pour adapter la quantification de l’indemnité aux réalités conjugales. Cela demeure,
toutefois, insuffisant et peu adapté aux besoins des ex-conjoints.
Variabilité et imprévisibilité des décisions se sont avérées être le corolaire de cette confection
jurisprudentielle : résultat de la large discrétion dont jouissent les magistrats dans l’appréciation des
conditions et facteurs applicables et fruit d’un législateur muet.
Le présent mémoire soulève les lacunes de l’enrichissement injustifié comme palliatif du problème
de la rupture conjugale et démontre que la prestation compensatoire n’est pas, en fait, une protection
analogue à l’enrichissement injustifié, ni une mesure adéquate pour les conjointes de fait.
À notre avis, une approche fonctionnaliste et plus complète doit primer pour favoriser l’atteinte de
l’objectif de protection recherché. Dans une société où le mariage n’est souvent pas le résultat d’un
choix réfléchi et, surtout, d’une volonté de s’assujettir à ses effets juridiques, une élévation des droits
des conjoints de fait au même niveau que ceux des époux prend tout son sens. / Faced with the legal vacuum surrounding their patrimonial relationships, de facto spouses sought
remedies within the general rules of obligations to solve the inequities resulting from their
separation. Quebec courts have recognized the need to fill this void, thereby rendering actions for
unjust enrichment the preferred choice of impoverished spouses.
This remedy has been fashioned by case law into a tailor-made remedy for unmarried spouses. A
panoply of measures has been put in place by the courts to lighten the burden of proof of the
impoverished and to adapt the quantification of the indemnity to conjugal realities. However, this
remains insufficient and poorly adapted to the needs of ex-spouses.
Variability and unpredictability of decisions have proven to be the corollary of this jurisprudential
confection: the result of the broad discretion of the courts in assessing the applicable conditions and
factors and the product of a silent legislator.
This memoire raises the shortcomings of unjust enrichment as a palliative to the problem of the
separation of de facto spouses and demonstrates that the compensatory allowance is not, in fact,
analogous to unjust enrichment, nor is it appropriate for de facto spouses.
In our opinion, a functionalist and more comprehensive approach must be privileged to help achieve
the desired objective of protection. In a society where marriage is often not the result of a considered
choice, or of a desire to submit to its legal effects. Granting de facto spouses to the same level of
protection as legal spouses would be preferred.
