1944: (Not All Peasants Experienced the End of SHADA the Same Way — a Few May Have Been Able to Financially Break Even but Many of the Peasantry Entangled with SHADA Not Only Lost Their Land but Also Lost Their Capacity to Withstand Market Fluctuation When the Project Uprooted Food-Bearing Plants — Without Their Own Minor Provisions Women Were in Vulnerable Spaces of Existence): As a multitiered and diverse class, not all peasants experienced the end of SHADA the same way. A few may have been able to financially break even, but many of the peasantry entangled with SHADA not only lost their land but also lost their capacity to withstand market fluctuation when the project uprooted and cut down food-bearing plants on their own small plots. Without their own minor provisions for daily sustenance and weekly changes in food pricing, women were in vulnerable spaces of existence — the fruit trees that SHADA had cut down had been more than agriculture; they had been insurance, the peasant woman’s savings account rooted in the earth.
