Description

The Post-Development Reader by Rahnema and Bawtree is a collection of essays that challenge the dominant development paradigm. This reader brings together diverse thinkers and activists who have long questioned the notion of 'development' and its impact on societies around the world. The contributors offer devastating critiques of modern development thinking, highlighting the ways in which it has denigrated and destroyed vernacular societies. They also present alternative perspectives, drawing on the experiences and ideals of ordinary people who are working to construct more humane and sustainable ways of living. This reader provides a unique insight into the post-development era, offering valuable signposts for those concerned with creating a more culturally and ecologically respectful approach to development.
