Description
Challenging the Professions: Frontiers for Rural Development
This book questions the dominant approaches taken by professionals concerned with rural development, suggesting that "we" - the professionals - are often part of the problem. By reversing many ideas and practices, new frontiers could be opened.
The author argues that a fresh perspective is needed to address the complex issues facing rural communities. This thought-provoking book offers a critical examination of the role of professionals in rural development, with implications for those working in this field.
