Message-ID: <9505091125.AB13327@sunshine.eds.ecip.nagoya-u.ac.jp> Date: Tue, 9 May 1995 20:25:49 JST From: APLordello <mailto:m940219m@EDS.ECIP.NAGOYA-U.AC.JP> Subject: women&involunt.resettlement(suggested bibliography) To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L
On April 29th, 1995, I posted the following question to DEVEL-L,
ELAN and INFOTERRA:
"I would be most grateful if you would inform me whether you know
of any publication regarding the impact of involuntary resettlement in
rural women."
I received nine answers and the suggested bibliography is listed
below. I would like to explain that I am doing research about a rural
movement organized by people who were involuntarily displaced from their
land due to the construction of hydropower schemes in Northeast Brazil. My
point is to research how women from this movement are coping with the
hardship subsequent to involuntary resettlement. If someone is researching
about a similar topic and would like to exchange any idea(s), please
contact me.
Thanks very much, indeed , to all of those who responded to my
original question and thanks very much to all of those who took the time to
forward it to other lists or to people who work closely with this topic.
Apologies for cross-postings.
Regards,
