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,

Ana Paula Lordello Graduate School of International Development Nagoya University, Japan. ________________________________________________
