Climate Change Impacts on Gender Relations in Bangladesh - Sajal Roy Kartoniert (TB)

This book explores gendered perceptions of the Sundarbans Forest in Bangladesh and the extent to which these perceptions are affected by extreme weather events (specifically cyclones Aila and Sidr). Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Shora a rural village in southern Satkhira Bangladesh the book explores gendered activities in the forest especially women¿s interaction with the forest resources. The findings present a clear picture of the Shora community¿s local knowledge about the Sundarbans Forest as well as the ecological and economic contributions for the forest people. The book make s a timely contribution to the wider study of gender post-cyclone recovery ecology and resilience.
