At a time of widespread disillusion as to what development has in
practice done to the lives of hundreds of millions of marginalised
people over the past 40 years, this book seeks to reclaim
development as a project of people's own autonomous agency. Born
out of three decades of field experience and working with 'Third
World' students, it revisits the primary question of what
development ought really to be about. Raff Carmen starts from the
conviction that development is too important to be left to the
developers. He critically examines what has gone on under its name,
finding it wanting both as an epistemological category and a sound
operational practice. Instead, he presents a counter-view of
development as an act of creation whereby people exercise their
inalienable right 'to invent their own future' as authors of an
ongoing process of transforming and humanising the landscapes they
inhabit.
