Displaced by Development
Confronting Marginalisation and Gender Injustice
- Lyla Mehta - University of Sussex, UK
Displaced by Development: Confronting Marginalisation and Gender Injustice argues that without differentiated analyses and programmes, displacement and resettlement will continue to intensify and perpetuate gender and social injustice. This work will hold the interest of a wide readership and will be a crucial source of information for those working in the areas of Gender and Social Policy, Economics and Development Studies, Sociology of Gender, Environment and Development, Migration Studies, Anthropology, and South Asian studies. It will also interest policy makers in development agencies, activists and non-governmental organisations concerned with forced displacement and migration issues.
This volume is a significant and perhaps first attempt by scholars and activists to examine resettlement and displacement debate from a gender lens…. It is a compulsory reading for all those concerned with the issues relating to development.
This book will go a long way in providing independently documented impacts of displacement, the role of the State and state policies, and also in addressing radical alternative visions.
