Development studies is in a state of flux. A new generation of
scholars has come to reject what was once regarded as accepted
wisdom, and increasingly regard development and globalization as
part of a continuum with colonialism, premised on the same
reductionist assumption that progress and growth are objective
facts that can be fostered, measured, assessed and controlled.
Drawing on a variety of theoretical perspectives and approaches,
this book explores the ways in which social movements in the Global
South are rejecting Western-centric notions of development and
modernization, as well as creating their own alternatives. By
assessing development theories from the perspective of subaltern
groups and movements, the contributors posit a new notion of
development 'from below', one in which these movements provide new
ways of imagining social transformation, and a way out of the
'developmental dead end' that has so far characterized
post-development approaches. Beyond Colonialism, Development and
Globalization therefore represents a radical break with the
prevailing narrative of modernization, and points to a bold new
direction for development studies.
