Reckoning: after decades of censorship, Burma's filmmakers probe their country's dark past. / Wade, Francis   Journal Article
Wade, Francis Journal Article

Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract L in Sun Oo doesn't take his eyes off the field and forest before him -- the rich green grass and the leaves on the lush trees stand, almost obediently, as still as statues. It is quiet. It is motionless. It is going to be the perfect shot, he thinks. To the right of him, his cameraman patiently peers into a viewfinder and, with a few careful adjustments, locks the image into focus. Before long, a thin pole of a man -- an elderly farmer named U Thaung Khaing, whose tanned, wrinkled hands are weathered from decades of working the land in central Burma -- inches into view. Barefoot and dressed in a brown longyi, white button-down shirt, and straw hat, he glides along a winding dirt path that slices through the dominant green in the shot. The producer exhales. The scene is exactly what he had envisioned -- and will be the perfect opener for his upcoming documentary. In Lin Sun Oo's film, U Thaung Khaing's soft voice narrates a moving portrayal of Than Bo Lay, a village in Magway district, where, in 2010, the regime confiscated land from the area's farmers. During the military's rule, the regime regularly appropriated property for its development projects, while offering little or no compensation to those who relied on the fields for their livelihoods.

Structural violations in resettlement and rehabilitation: evidence from the Gundlakamma project in Andhra Pradesh, India / Kodirekkala, Koteswara Rao   Journal Article
Kodirekkala, Koteswara Rao Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Though resettlement and rehabilitation is considered to offer a development opportunity for project-displaced people, such people are often not cared for and continue to be disregarded by the powerful governments in India in their ‘development’ projects. Oustees in India continue to be one of the most deprived sections of society, and resettlement and rehabilitation is still a critical issue of concern to them. Their basic rights to a decent life are violated in the resettlement and rehabilitation process, although the Indian Constitution guarantees certain rights to its citizens. Such deprivation and violations of rights in resettlement and rehabilitation can be seen particularly in the case of the Gundlakamma Reservoir Project in the State of (undivided and residual) Andhra Pradesh.
