Summary:

Cranney's major methodological strengths as well as contributions (especially toward cross-cultural ethnography) are as follows: her documentation and reporting of changes in self through the long process of research; lively confessional honesty; personalized photography; and a calibrated, instead of static, structuring of the overall account?. All in all, the book is a welcome critical reminder of the unchecked march of misguided development and its impact on local gendered ecologies' - "Piyush Mathur, Contemporary South Asia """

This book focuses on the ways in which the degradation of the environment has impacted the lives of poor women in rural India.
