Editorial Reviews

Review

This book makes an important contribution . . . [providing] an often overlooked perspective within critical development literature: the real possibility for positive change and for a more active role of development's target population to participate and shape the direction of change in their communities.
-- Kelsey Hanrahan, Africa Today

Carr brings the understanding of an ethnographic researcher...to the examination of a topic that needs attention from someone with his scholarly credentials. This is a book that should be required reading for students and scholars of development studies, especially development economists and development practitioners.
-- Olumide Abiola, SAIS Review

The book is a riveting read, horizon broadening and . . . takes a somewhat unusual path towards challenging the dominant paradigm that complements other, parallel efforts . . . All-in-all, a must read for aid wonks everywhere.
-- Andy Sumner, Global Dashboard

Fabulous, revealing examination of a segment of culture, written by a person who definately walks among his subjects and lives thier life with passion. Mr. Carr has ability and talent to communicate the essence of the cultural anthropology of a population that he not only studies but lives. He retains an objectivity that is difficult when the student becomes intimate with the teacher. Fine job, Dr. Carr.

I know we will read more of you.

Thank you for the only indepth understanding i have been given of the real seminal flavor of Africa.
