An intimate glimpse into the microcosmic world of "hybrid
landscapes" and their inhabitants With this book Kuntala
Lahiri-Dutt and Gopa Samanta offer an intimate glimpse into the
microcosmic world of "hybrid environments." Focusing on chars-the
part-land, part-water, low-lying sandy masses that exist within the
riverbeds in the floodplains of lower Bengal-the authors show how,
both as real-life examples and as metaphors, chars straddle the
conventional categories of land and water, and how people who live
on them fluctuate between legitimacy and illegitimacy. The result,
a study of human habitation in the nebulous space between land and
water, charts a new way of thinking about land, people, and
people's ways of life.
