Abstract
One of the contributions anthropologists have made to development policy and programs is guidance on how resettlement projects can be handled more sensitively. Over the past forty years, they have documented the sociocultural effects of involuntary relocation, and some have had direct input in designing programs that offer a better quality of living to people displaced by development. Although the literature is replete with cautionary tales of resettlement schemes gone awry, there are a few relatively successful cases, and the World Bank has drawn up its own guidelines for managing resettlement when it cannot be avoided (Michael Cernea, Involuntary Resettlement in Development Projects, Washington, DC: World Bank, 1988).
