Reviews / Votes
"The themes and styles are refreshingly diverse but all the contributors remind us that what many development scholars and policy-makers downgrade as 'context' - history, ways of making meaning, political disputes - are often central to explaining development practice...[This book] not only implies the need for a classificatory rethink, which has been widely recognized for decades, but also gives us the ethnographic material to see how fruitful a more concerted anthropology of development in Europe could be." ? Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"...offers an interesting and important read in making sense of what seems to have become a somewhat uneasy relationship between anthropology and development... [The volume] should be applauded for putting increased emphasis on ethnography and agency by showing how these constitute a critical hope that both post-development and anthropology will contribute to and be relevant for development. It seeks not only to describe and analyze but, more importantly, to revamp critically how anthropology as a discipline engages the field of development." ? Social Analysis
"This is a book whose time is overdue...It is a welcome addition to a burgeoning field of anthropological studies in which development plays a part, a book that will be widely read and appreciated...[It is]sophisticated, relevant, sufficiently up to date and interesting in the way in which it framed the new forms that anthropological engagement with development might take." ? Andrea Cornwall, University of Sussex

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
