The concept of The Remittance Village emphasises rural people's transnational mobilities as a key feature of contemporary dynamics in many parts of the Global South, which are reconfiguring rural social, economic and ecological textures. Sunam challenges complacent linear narratives that assume new opportunities such as transnational migration, and remittances provide better pathways for the rural poor to come out of poverty, as well as narratives that understate the importance of land and farming for the rural poor. He demonstrates both that new opportunities are inaccessible for many poor people and that accessing these opportunities often engenders increased precarity and vulnerability. In The Remittance Village, he finds that even those accessing new opportunities are successful only when their household member(s) are simultaneously engaged in in-situ (non-)agricultural activities. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students from a range of interdisciplinary backgrounds, including human geography, anthropology of development, and sociology. It is also recommended reading for policy makers, international development agencies and I/NGOs working on rural development in the Global South.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aHuman geography2bicssc  aagrarian  aBrain drain  aglobal south  aland reform  apoverty  arural  atransnational0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3742970zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92574d92574
