Recenzje

'A brilliant, well-grounded revelation of the realities of international development aid policy and implementation from the perspectives of the 'beneficiaries': women customary water managers of the matrilineal Makhuwa 'participating' in a large handpumps project. A highly accessible story of interwoven vivid descriptions of local encounters, critical theory, and personal reflection.' Barbara van Koppen, International Water Management Institute
