Description
1. INTRODUCTION Development as a practical and intellectual project has been steeped in optimism. Yet, after more than several decades of development, many areas of the world are worse off today than they were before, despite development programs and aid. Millions of Africans and Asians suffer and die from starvation and malnutrition. In the face of such failure, deterioration and destruction, it is not wise to persist in talking about development as the harbinger of human emancipation. It would seem that the model of development now widely pursued as part of the problem rather than the solution. The sooner we demythologize this ideology the better. It disorders our imagination, limits our vision, blinding us to the alternatives that human ingenuity is capable of imagining and implementing. The myth of development is elevated to the status of natural law, objective reality and evolutionary necessity. In the process all otherworld views are devalued and dismissed as 'primitive', 'backward', 'irrational' or 'naive'.
