The original critical guide to key concepts in development studies
from some of the world's most eminent critical development scholars
and practitioners. Each essay in this now classic collection
examines one key development concept, from the ‘environment’ to
‘needs’ and ‘progress’ to ‘production’. Each concept is
reviewed from a historical and anthropological point of view, with
particular bias and intellectual flaws being highlighted. Overall,
the authors argue that we must bid farewell to the whole idea of
Eurocentric development in order to liberate people’s minds in
both North and South and to mobilize for bold responses to the
environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity. The
result is an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners,
movements and students of development which invites us to recognize
the tinted glasses we put on whenever we participate in the
development discourse.
