Cr�ticas:

`In analysing the village, its history, its resources, its people, with a deep undestanding of local realities and never losing touch with the simple, practical problems that dominate daily life, she has come up with an invaluable document that is, in fact, a tool for social change. As such, this study will be of great benefit to all those interested in women, poverty and rural development.' - Business Standard

`This study differs from the usual village studies, in that it really succeeds in using an action research model. Chen identifies the specific needs of different groups, which are useful for grass-root level organizations.' - Business India

`For various reasons, the book is exceptional: a felicitous style, a comprehensive approach, various typologies to structure the argument, illustrative cases to fill the argument, and a mature treatment of a recurring, semi-perennial disaster. A textbook-like approach takes us on a guided tour through the chapters. Theory and field material are assiduously blended.' - The Economics Times

Rese�a del editor:

This study was initiated in a time of severe drought in Gujarat state in western India and focuses on a village located in this semi-arid region. The author explores the dimensions of the drought in its spatial and temporal perspectives; the impact on different occupational groups; and how community and officialdom responded.
