##- ##- 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. ##-________________________________________________ ##- ##-SUGGESTED BIBLIOGRAPHY ##-Topic: Women and Involuntary Resettlement ##-(In alphabetical order) ##- ##-1) Cernea, Michael:1993. ##-(This book has some discussion about women and resettlement by Thayer Scudder.) ##- ##-2) Koening, Dolores.
