Alf Gunvald Nilsen: ‘Dispossession and Resistance in India’ – Book review

The book Dispossession and Resistance in India, by Alf Gunvald Nilsen, is an engaging and endearing account of an important social movement that is rich both theoretically and empirically. The book deals with the controversial issue of building large dams in the name of development, and the Narmada Valley project in India narrates a story of oppressed communities and their zeal to overcome such atrocities.
