"...It is without doubt that this book offers an excellent
presentation on the background of the issue of displacement by
development.... Students and researchers will find this book as an
essential reading material on the issue of displacement by
development. As this book is the result of two research projects by
the authors, they base their arguments on a plethora of sources
from social sciences, humanities, law to economics, indicating
their wealth of knowledge on the topic. The bibliography list alone
is impressive and the book stands as an indispensable resource on
this issue."
