Karl. Changing identification among American Indians and

Washington, D.C. In Eng.
The author assesses reasons for the
dispersal of the American Indian and Alaska native populations, with a
focus on the contribution of migration and of changes in ethnic
classification. "Insofar as migration is the relevant cause of the
dispersal, the traditional research questions about causes of migration
from reservation communities, as well as the implications of the
migration for the identity, cultural attributes, and adjustment of
Indian out-migrants and their descendants remain relevant to
understanding conditions in the American Indian population in the
1990s. On the other hand, insofar as the dispersal is due to new
identification of persons remote from reservation communities,
questions about the causes and nature of this emergence of identity are
more important."

which was held in Uppsala, Sweden, in September 1989. There are 14
papers by various authors that "address a wide range of issues relating
to the small town in rural context from both the macro perspective,
including the role of the state, to the micro perspective where
attention is given to the vitality and adaptability of individual
actors through their utilisation of rural and urban opportunities.
Case studies are drawn from Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria,
Somalia, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe." Rural-urban migration is covered
in several papers.

"The paper begins with a brief review of the theoretical
arguments and empirical evidence that might be used to explain the
emergence, sources and spatial variations of inner-city repopulation.
The discussion then examines the various forms of property development
that underlie the process of repopulation and the possible origins and
potential impacts of each form. Examples are introduced to illustrate
the trends and relationships involved, drawing on selective references
from North American and European cities, but with special emphasis on
Canadian cities and the recent Toronto experience. The paper concludes
with a brief assessment of the significance of these processes for
understanding the changing residential functions and social
environments of the inner city."

The emphasis of the collection is on mega-cities and the implications
of current trends for development policy and research. "Three sets of
issues are examined in this book. The initial chapters assess the
theoretical frameworks that urban and migration policies are based
on....Chapters 4 through 8 cover specific substantive topics. The
authors of these chapters press for the development of fresh conceptual
approaches to address the demands facing institutions and individuals
in the largest cities of the developing world. The final four chapters
present evidence on the demographic, social, and economic complexity of
processes of urban growth."

China, this paper examines the structural differentials between county
towns and 'jian-zhi' towns, both [of which fall] under the category of
'town' in official statistics. Based on the data from the 1987 survey
on towns in Inner Mongolia, the findings indicate that county towns are
quite different from the 'jian-zhi' towns in their registration
structure, occupational structure, and migration patterns." A town's
administrative status places it in either the county or jian-zhi
(officially recognized) town category.

The relationship between
the age and sex structure of the Warsaw urban region of Poland and the
population dynamics of this area is analyzed. "The process of spatial
population development in the Warsaw urban region is of a cyclical
nature. Starting from 1948-1950, the changes in the proportions of the
population increase between the core and the remaining parts of the
region oscillated over time. These trends can be interpreted with
reference to the basic components of population change--natural
increase and net migration, as well as policy-related
factors."

Inner-city areas of Latin
America are examined and compared with similar urban areas in the
United Kingdom and the United States. Significant differences are noted
in that "the demography [of Latin American inner cities] is different,
with relatively low levels of visible population decline; and the
economy of the inner city remains vibrant, focusing upon services and
small-scale artisan activities, with no corresponding decline in heavy
industry. Although large-scale redevelopment projects in and around
the downtown were common during the 1940s to the 1960s, the demise of
authoritarian and dirigiste-type leaders, 1980s austerity, and a
growing democratic base, have imposed severe limitations on the extent
of large-scale urban redevelopment and
reinvestment."
