Subject(s):

DDC classification:

338.186885 FER

Summary: Through a detailed case study of the Thaba-Tseka Development Project in Lesotho over the period 1975 to 1984, Ferguson exposes the discourse and the practice of 'development' to a highly explicit and critical scrutiny. . . . The importance of Ferguson's book is that it exerts a decisive wrench away from evaluation of the success or failure of development projects in their own terms and towards an analysis of what development does, who does it, and whom it actually benefits. https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-anti-politics-machine
