Anthropology and Development

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of the development industry over nearly two decades, this book critiques the increasing technocratic nature of international development amidst declining Western aid and rising non-traditional actors. It emphasizes core anthropological issues like poverty and inequality, challenging existing paradigms and practices. As a thoroughly revised edition of a previous work, it aims to innovate the field while serving as a valuable textbook for students at prominent international universities.
