Reviews of “Water Culture in South Asia”
“Water Culture in South Asia is fascinating and enlightening. The authors argue persuasively for including women in water-related decision-making.”
—Dr. Gisele Maynard-Tucker, Women’s Studies, UCLA
“For our Gender and Water Alliance this is an important book for everybody involved in water management, and with interest in the way women and men manage their water for various purposes.”
— Joke Mulwijk, GWA Executive Director
“Water doesn’t stand alone, it is interconnected. The authors’ poignant portrayal of the waterscapes of Bangladesh — with its rivers, streams, canals, tubewells, ponds, lakes and wetlands, floods, chars, deltas, waterlogged landscapes — illustrate how water flows with – as well as against – the daily currents of social interactions.”
— Dr. Sue Cavill, Waterlines
“Even though the focus of this book is Bangladesh, its lessons hold true for India and Pakistan as well, another strong indication of how each of them share a common culture.”
— Professor Bidyut Mohanty, Social Change
