Here are fine-grained accounts of survival strategies on the very margins of poor societies. A new generation of anthropologists and development planners bear witness to the resilience and resourcefulness of some of the most impoverished people in the world. Anyone who wants to understand, and to help, should read this book. --Adam Kuper, Brunel University In this book you will meet the world's most oppressed people and converse in a reflective cross-disciplinary way about their modes of life, their vulnerability and their resilience. Kudos for James Staples and his team who have brought these lives to light and created the best sort of policy relevant research. --Barbara Harriss-White, Oxford University
