[It] can help to ameliorate the despair which students of development often feel. ---LSE Magazine An excellent teaching manual ... It is definitely a book to read. ---L'Homme I very much enjoyed reading this book. It is clear and well-written and guides the reader easily through some quite complex arguments. ---Social Development Newsletter A must for anybody interested in human development. ---Journal of Social Sciences (India)
A well-crafted, sensitive, reflective and constructive book. It is highly recommended.' --Development Policy Review ' A comprehensive overview of the history of development and anthropology's relationship to it, including a discussion of applied anthropology - a branch often ignored by anthropologists working within academe.' --Journal of Peace Research
