##-        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,
