Description
Communicating Development with Communities offers a critical reflection on how the development industry defines and constructs development at the implementation level. By unpacking dominant theories and practices, this book advocates for relational and indigenous models of living that celebrate local ontologies and community-ness.
The author examines how subaltern voices are produced and appropriated, highlighting the potential risks of well-meaning experts becoming oppressors. A key concept explored is a pedagogy of listening as a pathway to collaborative development with and alongside communities.
