SPRINGERBRIEFS IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES DAMS...

The book focuses on the human and social effects of the construction of hydroelectric dams in
Brazil. It discusses themes such as forced migrations  how the families of the victims of the
dams adapt to new living areas  the struggle of families with the relocation of their homes and
the fact that they are neglected by builders and government. These discussions are carried out
in a comparative perspective between Southern and Northern Brazil  where contexts and living
conditions are quite different. The book's main objective is to analyze the movements 
adaptations and life changes in families suffering from the effects of dams throughout Brazil.
This is the first book that analyzes the relationship dam-space with the intent to understand
how dams affect the territory. The book is organized in three chapters: the dams' effects in
Brazil and the territorial impacts  human and social consequences of dam construction  a
regional comparison of the effects of dams between the South and the North of the country.
