Description:
The book presents a multidisciplinary effort to rethink water-related issues—issues that are linked to policies in other exceedingly important areas, such as poverty alleviation, international power rivalries, the subordination and destruction of local cultures, the environment, and the education of future generations about water.
It uses the methodologies and thinking of cultural studies and critical policy studies to examine some of the “constructed realities” that have come to dominate thinking about water in the 20th and 21st centuries, including foundational categories as “sovereignty” and “borders” in order to think about the role of water in new ways.
It expands the study of water issues to include the social and cultural dimensions, thereby filling a gap in the literature.
