Lose to Gain: Is Involuntary Resettlement a Development Opportunity? Edited by Jayantha Perera. Asian Development Bank, 2014.
A crucial issue that confronts development in South Asia is how to build a
better life for people displaced by infrastructure development projects.
This book comprises recent displacement and resettlement case
studies conducted by eight anthropologists in South Asia. Each contributor
wrote around the key theme of the book: Is involuntary resettlement
a development opportunity for those displaced by development
interventions? In this book, ”resettlement” carries a broader meaning
to include physical and economic displacement, restricted access to
public land such as forests and parks, relocation, income rehabilitation,
and self-relocation.
The book demonstrates that despite significant progress in national
policies, laws, and regulations, their application still requires more
commitment, adequate resources, and better supervision.
