| book description |

Proposing a series of innovative steps towards better understanding human lives at the interstices of water and land, this volume includes eight ethnographies from deltas around the world. The book presents â€˜delta lifeâ€™ with intimate descriptions of the predicaments, imaginations and activities of delta inhabitants. Conceptually, the collection develops â€˜delta lifeâ€™ as a metaphor for approaching continual and intersecting sociocultural, economic and material transformations more widely. The book revolves around questions of hydrosociality, volatility, rhythms and scale. It thereby yields insights into peopleâ€™s lives that conventional, hydrological approaches to deltas cannot provide.
