Sommario/riassunto

This book investigates the relationship between maternal investment, unwanted births, and child nutritional outcomes in five poor communities of the Western Balkan Roma. Based on an evolutionary approach, the book directly assesses variability in Roma mothers’ parental care using data from UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys 5 and 6 for the Roma settlements in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The book includes useful information about Roma communities in the Western Balkans and their history and sufferings in the region. It reviews this history against the data on unwanted childbearing globally and in low- and middle-income



countries. It addresses concerns related to Roma people's integration into European society, despite their longstanding presence in Europe. The book analyses the existence of health differentials among Roma children themselves, suggesting that some children are especially vulnerable. Therefore, it critically assesses how multiple (levels of) vulnerabilities affect differential Roma parental investment in children. This book is a useful resource for researchers interested in Roma studies, children's well-being, wellbeing of marginal groups, social work and social justice. .

Sommario/riassunto

An innovative text which adopts the tools of cultural studies to provide a fresh approach to the study of Chinese language, culture and society. The book tackles areas such as grammar, language, gender, popular culture, film and the Chinese diaspora and employs the concepts of social semiotics to extend the ideas of language and reading. Covering a range of cultural texts, it will help to break down the boundaries around the ideas and identities of East and West and provide a more



relevant analysis of the Chinese and China.
