The Three Gorges Dam's Impact on Peasant Livelihood: China's Project on the Yangtze River

Due to the Three Gorges Dam, China's Yangtze becomes a 600 kilometers long reservoir that submerges everything below. Therefore, more than 1.3 million people lose their houses, their arable land, as well as their personal belongings. The book in hand examines the socio-economic impact on peasant livelihood before, during and after the state-forced resettlement.
