Compiling various strands of the dis/enchantment with development
discourse in contemporary South Asia, with specific focus on the
cases from India, this edited book brings together anthropologists,
sociologists, economists, and historians to refresh the
understanding of development. It introduces ways of thinking
"otherwise" about development discourse and what the contributors
term "developmentalism"-the social enchantment with development.
The cultural discourse of development in contemporary South Asia
manifests not only in the official programs of state agencies, but
in cinema, television, and mass media. Dear to various
stakeholders-from government leaders and manufacturers to consumers
and the electorate-is the axiom of a "development(al) society."
Organized to bridge familiar understandings of development with
radical ways of thinking through developmentalism, this book holds
value for those engaged in the anthropology and sociology of
development, development studies, South Asian studies, as well as
for development professionals working for state and
non-governmental organizations.
