Book Reviews of The Cost of Living
Book Review: A Hidden Problem
Summary: 4 Stars
I found Roy's essays fascinating, but the first, on India's massive dam projects, interested me the most. By the MOST conservative estimates, 33 million people have been displaced by these projects since partition in the late 1940's. It is difficult for a Westerner to grasp the magnitude of this problem. Think about the populations of New York and California, for example, and then we can begin to understand it.
