In recent decades international development has grown into a
world-shaping industry. But how do aid agencies work and what do
they achieve? How does aid appear to the adults and children who
receive it? And why has there been so little improvement in the
position of the poor? Viewing aid and development from
anthropological perspectives gives illuminating answers to
questions such as these. This essential textbook reveals
anthropologists' often surprising findings and details ethnographic
case studies on the cultures of development. The authors use a
fertile literature to examine the socio-political organisation of
aid communities, agencies and networks, as well as the judgements
they make about each other. The everyday practice of development
work is about negotiating power and culture, but in vastly
different ways in different contexts and for different social
groups. Exploring the spaces between policy and practice, success
and failure, the future and the past, this book provides a rounded
understanding of development work that suggests new moral and
political possibilities for an increasingly globalised world.
