The uprooting and displacement of people has long been among the hardships associated with development and modernity. Indeed, the circulation of commodities, currency, and labor in modern society necessitates both social and spatial mobility. However, the displacement and resettlement of millions of people each year by largescale infrastructural projects raises serious questions about the democratic character of the development process.Although designed to spur economic growth, many of these projects leave local people struggling against serious impoverishment and gross violations of human rights. Working from a politicalecological perspective, Anthony OliverSmith offers the first book to document the fight against involuntary displacement and resettlement being waged by people and communities around the world.Increasingly over the last twentyfive years, the voices of people at the grass roots are being heard. People from many societies and cultures are taking action against developmentforced displacement and resettlement (DFDR) and articulating alternatives. Taking the promise of democracy seriously, they are fighting not only for their place in the world, but also for their place at the negotiating table, where decisions affecting their wellbeing are made.
