Beyond Colonialism, Development And Globalisation: Social Movement And Critical Perspectives (Paperback)

Development Studies Are Currently In A State Of Flux. Long-Accepted Wisdom Is Being Dismissed By New Generations Of Scholars Who Increasingly Set Development And Globalization On The Same Continuum As Colonialism, Premised As They Are On A Shared Reductionist Assumption That Progress And Growth Are Objective Facts To Be Measured, Assessed, And Controlled. This Book Gathers Contributions From A Number Of Prominent Scholars Who Are On The Cutting Edge Of This Transformation In Development Studies, And The Result Is A Clear Picture Of Where The Field Is Today, And Where It Likely Will Be Headed Next. Positing A New Development From Below, One That Foregrounds The Perspective Of Previously Marginalized Groups And Movements, The Book Enables Us To Reimagine Development Studies In A New, More Productive, More Radical Way.
