In Bangladesh, the chars within the river channels are an important
part of its landscape. However, these land masses continue to
remain isolated, deprived of services, and pockets of poverty in
the country. The char dwellers are vulnerable to natural hazards
like flood and erosion. In addition to these hazards, the coastal
chars are faced with the imminent problem of widespread inundation
due to sea level rise resulting from climate change. Within this
context, the book Living on the Edge: Char Dwellers in Bangladesh
has brought together valuable scholarship on the diverse issues
relating to the chars and the communities living in there. This
comprehensive collection, with contribution of experts on the
subject from across the globe, provides an understanding of the
problems faced by the char dwellers and also comes up with policy
prescriptions for ensuring overall welfare of char communities in
the country.
