Overview

Most scholars and development experts agree that the world is at the dawn of a new era in the history of development. This reader brings together critical analyses of the subject by noted scholars and activists of the North and South. They provide a devastating critique of the mainstream paradigm and what it has done to the peoples of the world and to their richly diverse and sustainable ways of living. They also present new culturally humane and ecologically respectful modes of development from developing countries.

From the Publisher


'A monument to the vigour of commonsense in resisting the belief that progress can be likened to a law of nature. This book is a primer for reflection on the fertile potential of the loss of 20th century certainties.' - Ivan Illich
