Summary: Based on a report of a village that the authors lived and worked in, Jhagrapur (the word 'jhagra' means quarrel in Bengali) is an in-depth study of the condition of women and poor peasant families. The authors focus on rural power relations between poor and rich peasants, women and men, villagers and big merchants and the government, drawing particular attention to the women who are the doubly exploited. Although not primarily concerned with foreign aid in a developing country, this study suggests that the complicated nature of rural power relations makes it almost impossible to offer aid to the rural poor in a way that they will benefit from it.
