Book excerpt: This book discusses the impact of land grabbing and associated displacement in the name of development in India. It also analyses the prevailing land acquisition laws which are used to uproot the tribal people from their homes and livelihoods. The book reveals the causes of displacement and highlights the subsequent impoverishment, joblessness and trauma, with special reference to the states of Odisha and Jharkhand. The book is based on an in-depth field study conducted in the tribal populated areas of the two states. It has a special focus on the tribal women who bear the brunt of displacement and lose their autonomy in becoming migrant labourers. Policy makers, law practitioners, development analysts, historians, environmentalists, political scientists, sociologists and administrators will find the book useful, as it deals with the rehabilitation and resettlement programs and policies related to development-induced displacement.
