Más información sobre el libro

Household water provides the entry point for this ethnography and study of institutional change. The book discusses the political economy of poverty and presents the polyphone discourse on water and the environment. The author outlines water history and water rights from the 1970s onwards, and analyzes social dynamics. She offers a critical voice in the debate on climate change by arguing that local and global perceptions are not necessarily coherent.
