This book is a useful source of information for all those involved in such programmes and policies. --Deccan Herald "This volume represents a significant landmark in the continued efforts to enhance rural poor women's access to land and other productive resources, for better livelihoods and improved status. . . . It is a landmark from the point of view of both practitioners and researchers, as it brings together an array of practical experiences in the field of organizing women for improved access and greater bargaining power. Along with this, it deals with related issues and problems. . . . The book is a valuable addition to the literature on women's poverty and landlessness, their struggle to strengthen their rights and status, thus providing an agenda for action by policymakers, NGOs, and women's groups, as well as international agencies." --Seminar What role do women play in the development of wasteland areas and regions? How do caste, class, and tribal affiliation affect women's participation in development of wasteland areas? This volume brings together policy-makers, researches, and village women to discuss and analyze wasteland development primarily from the perspective of the women themselves, and not merely from the point of environmental regeneration. Contributors first address the evolution of wasteland development in India in general, offering a unique framework for understanding the place of women within it. They then document the grassroots experience of village women in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Throughout, contributors examine legal implications of women gaining access to land-based resources and review policy issues that will ensure women's continued participation in wasteland development. "Although the data collected are confined to India, they help reach conclusions valid for trans-border countries in common ecological belts." -The Statesman "It is rich in empirical material, and adds considerably to the existing evidence of the interrelationship between poverty, natural resources and gender. . . . The editors must be congratulated for selecting paper of almost uniform quality, and covering such comprehensive range of issues. . . . The most important contribution of this book . . . is the extensive evidence it offers for a still nascent thesis in the field of women's empowerment." -The Book Review

Download or read book Institutions in Transition written by Peter Ho and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's urban sprawl has led to serious social cleavages. Unclear land and property rights have resulted in an uneasy alliance between real estate companies and local authorities, with most willing to strike illegal deals over land. The results have been devastating. Farmers live in fear that the land they till today will be gone tomorrow, while urban citizens are regularly evicted from their homes to make way for new skyscrapers and highways.These shocking incidents underscore the urgency of the land question in China. The recent conviction of the Chinese Minister for Land Resources and the forced evictions that have led to the injury and death of ordinary Chinese citizens highlight the case for land reform. Against this backdrop, many scholars criticize China's lack of privatization and titling of property. This monograph, however, demonstrates that these critically depend on timing and place. Land titling is imperative for thewealthier regions, yet, may prove detrimental in areas with high poverty. The book argues that China's land reform can only succeed if the clarification of property rights is done with caution and ample regard for regional variations.
Download or read book Wastelands written by Corban Addison and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written." —From the Foreword by John Grisham The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won. As vivid and fast-paced as a thriller, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight. There is Elsie Herring, the most outspoken of the neighbors, who has endured racial slurs and the threat of a restraining order to tell the story of the waste raining down on her rooftop from the hog operation next door. There is Don Webb, a larger-than-life hog farmer turned grassroots crusader, and Rick Dove, a riverkeeper and erstwhile military judge who has pioneered the use of aerial photography to document the scale of the pollution. There is Woodell McGowan, a quiet man whose quest to redeem his family’s ancestral land encourages him to become a better neighbor, and Dr. Steve Wing, a groundbreaking epidemiologist whose work on the health effects of hog waste exposure translates the neighbors’ stories into the argot of science. And there is Tom Butler, an environmental savant and hog industry insider whose whistleblowing testimony electrifies the jury. Fighting alongside them in the courtroom is Mona Lisa Wallace, who broke the gender barrier in her small southern town and built a storied legal career out of vanquishing corporate giants, and Mike Kaeske, whose trial skills are second to none. With journalistic rigor and a novelist’s instinct for story, Corban Addison's Wastelands captures the inspiring struggle to bring a modern-day monopoly to its knees, to force a once-invincible corporation to change, and to preserve the rights—and restore the heritage—of a long-suffering community.
