Opis

This book rethinks the relevance of the social sciences, both Marxist and liberal, to social change in the Third World. The authors are concerned with the failure of contemporary development theory to explain and take seriously the dynamic histories of the peoples of Latin America, Africa and Asia. Breaking with unlinear, ahistorical approaches in economics, sociology, political science, and philosophy, the essays explore a broad range of issues in an attempt to break new ground.
