Darina växte upp i ett kärlekslöst barnhem i Tjeckoslovakien. Hon omhändertogs av myndigheterna 6 månader gammal och var på barnhem tills hon som 4-åring blev bortadopterad. Som rom var hon oönskad – alla romska barn valdes sist!

Från tiden på barnhemmet hade hon med sig hemska trauman som påverkade henne både fysiskt och psykiskt, vilka resulterade i att hon hamnade i särskolan trots sin normalbegåvning. Darina fick ofta höra att hon bara skulle duga till att stoppa fem klädnypor i en påse!

Darina berättar ocensurerat om sin barndom och uppväxten, om självmordsförsöken, om kampen att få en utbildning och få vara som alla andra.

Följ med i Darinas starka berättelse, om dansen, skrivandet och hur hon till slut hittade fram till kärleken.

Drawing on over thirty years of research, this book investigates the intermingling of land and water in the Sahel, analysing landscapes defined by the ebb and flow of rainfall, flooding and population movements, as well as environmental, political and social crises.

Exploring both the seasonal flooding of rivers around the Nile, Chari-Logone, Niger and Senegal, as well as agricultural irrigation projects such as dams, canals and pumping stations, the book examines the different narratives related to water and land in the Sahel. It combines fieldwork research with remote sensing, big data and GIS mapping to outline the ever-changing interplay between land and water in the region. Beyond this, the book also reinterprets the colonial and post-colonial legacies of large-scale irrigation projects and the geopolitical interests which defined them.

Supported by an Open Access website with a WebGIS and further maps and analysis, this book is an essential read for policy makers and development practitioners in the region, as well as for researchers and scholars across the fields of geography, history, political science, sustainable development and African studies.
