Chapter Chapter 11 in Betrayed, 2013, pp 165-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hodat, a woman in her thirties in Garkuno Miani village in Pakistan, struggles to make ends meet because her family can no longer catch enough fish in nearby Manchar Lake. The lake has become severely polluted in recent years, and fish stocks have plummeted. Her sons still go fishing, but the catch is so small that the money they make from selling it isn’t enough to keep the family afloat. “We are very poor and no one supports us. The water in this area is filthy and has no fish in it. We have nothing.” Yet, despite deep frustration with her powerlessness, she is determined to make the most of the skills and resources she does have.
