Proposing a series of innovative steps towards better understanding
human lives at the interstices of water and land, this volume
includes eight ethnographies from deltas around the world. The book
presents 'delta life' with intimate descriptions of the
predicaments, imaginations and activities of delta inhabitants.
Conceptually, the collection develops 'delta life' as a metaphor
for approaching continual and intersecting sociocultural, economic
and material transformations more widely. The book revolves around
questions of hydrosociality, volatility, rhythms and scale. It
thereby yields insights into people's lives that conventional,
hydrological approaches to deltas cannot provide.
