Buku ini merupakan satu usaha untuk memaparkan sejarah masyarakat India di Malaysia. Sebagai satu daripada kumpulan utama dalam masyarakat di Malaysia, orang India mempunyai jaluran sejarah yang panjang dan cukup unik dalam konteks perkembangan negara ini. Walau bagaimanapun, sehingga kini tidak banyak kajian diberikan kepada masyarakat ini yang terdiri daripada berbagai kelompok seperti masyarakat Tamil yang menjadi kelompok dominan dalam masyarakat India di Malaysia, mahupun kumpulan-kumpulan lain seperti masyarakat Sikh, Ceti, Chettiar dan India Muslim. Buku ini akan memberikan perhatian bukan sahaja mengenai asal-usul kedatangan masyarakat India, namun lebih penting lagi berbagai rupabentuk transformasi ekonomi, sosial dan politik yang berlaku kepada masyarakat ini sejak sekurang-kurangnya abad ke-19 hingga abad ke-20. Buku ini sangat sesuai untuk dijadikan bahan rujukan untuk pelajar di pusat pengajian tinggi yang mengikuti kursus mengenai masyarakat Malaysia, pembentukan negara mahupun sejarah masyarakat minoriti. Selain itu, buku ini juga sesuai untuk kegunaan golongan guru dan pendidik, pelajar-pelajar sekolah yang mengikuti pelajaran sejarah serta peminat sejarah Malaysia.
This lucidly written textbook covers the historical background of clinical sociology as a field and its developing trends around the world. It addresses the urgent need for sociologists to develop a clinical approach in their effort to improve society, with the emphasis that clinical sociology should complement the work of other disciplines such as clinical psychology, social work, and social anthropology. This book discusses in depth the concept of clinical sociology itself and the obligations of clinical sociologists. It fills a gap in the literature which reveals a lack of discussion and consensus on the roles and responsibilities of clinical sociologists, therefore making an important contribution to clinical sociology, and sociology, more broadly. Graduate students, practitioners and professionals in the field of clinical sociology, social work and other related disciplines will find this book very useful.
