Risk and avoidance of risk among migrants of the Xiaolangdi Dam project
Article Abstract:
The Xiaolangdi Dam project displaced 181,000 rural villagers that were to be relocated in neighboring townships or farther away in other counties, and since these villagers were very attached to their land, losing it presented them with a grave risk. As a measure to avoid the risk entailed in landlessness, the policy makers carried out a development-oriented migration, maintaining the primacy of agriculture and giving land back for land taken away for each villager who wished to continue farming.

Power games and migrant adaptability in migration villages: The case of White Village, a settlement in Guangdong province of migrants displaced by the Three Gorges Dam project
Article Abstract:
The White Village in Guagdong was set up to relocate Three Gorges Dam project migrants, but they realized that there are more factors at play than before in the manipulation of power in the migrant village. The village society is an independent political entity, and in terms of cultural traditions, it has its own integral set of social norms and standards for behavior, uniquely capable of accommodating both the power of patriarchal clan morality and national administration, within its network.
