The analysis makes use of three sets of comparisons--Anglo and Chicano, married and single, male and female--and the subjects in each category are analyzed in terms of personal characteristics, employment situation, material possessions, living conditions, family background, social activities, and contacts with \"officials\"--including the police. In addition, Henshel gives a detailed presentation of the conjugal lives of the married subjects: mutual feelings, marital satisfaction, reproduction, parenthood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e All data were gathered through three in-depth interviews with each subject, at intervals of about three months. In the case of a married respondent, the spouse was interviewed simultaneously, whenever possible, but separately. Interviewer was matched with subject by sex and ethnicity. Although the respondent's reports were complemented by the interviewer's perception, emphasis was placed on the individual's perception of his or her own situation, and the data were analyzed accordingly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The predominant themes are cultural differences between the two ethnic groups, especially in marriage, the relative superiority of the married over the single, the advantages and disadvantages of the male and the female in view of sex-role norms, and some of the problems with which the respondents are besieged--on the whole, problems very similar to those of other poor people. All-pervasive are social isolation, loneliness, lack of money, deficient education, poor physical appearance, failure in birth-control efforts, the presence of handicapped children, and the need for humane guidance and training. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Suggestions for improving relations with individuals once labeled retardates are presented in the last chapter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1973\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302268588229,"sku":"9780292744820","price":61.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/STy0X73Czr9780292744820.webp?v=1780434144","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-forgotten-ones-a-sociological-study-of-anglo-and-chicano-retardates-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
