9781781636459: Introduction to Rural Settlements

Synopsis

These settlements range from tiny hamlets of thatched huts to larger settlements of tile- roofed stone and brick houses. Most villages are small. Most villages are characterized by a multiplicity of economic, caste, kinship, oc- cupational, and even religious groups linked vertically within each settlement. This book adopts a fresh approach to the issue of ru- ral-urban dynamics through a study of the changing nature of livelihoods, mobility and markets.
