Abstract
The Taming of a River: Gender Displacement and Resistance in Anti-Dam Movements, draws and weaves together diverse strands of arguments about the gendered nature of development, of policy, of displacement, and most significantly of resistance. It particularly focuses on the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save the Narmada Movement) to document the ways in which women participate in survival struggles and the perceptions of their gendered roles within the community and the movement.
