Book Summary
With this book Kuntala Lahiri-Dutt and Gopa Samanta offer an intimate glimpse
into the microcosmic world of "hybrid environments." Focusing on chars--the
part-land, part-water, low-lying sandy masses that exist within the riverbeds in
the floodplains of lower Bengal--the authors show how, both as real-life
examples and as metaphors, chars straddle the conventional categories of land
and water, and how people who live on them fluctuate between legitimacy and
illegitimacy. The result, a study of human habitation in the nebulous space
between land and water, charts a new way of thinking about land, people, and
people's ways of life.
