The No-Nonsense Guide to International Development by Maggie Black
Overseas aid and international development are catch-all terms that cover a multitude of activities--and abuses. This guide explains what development actually is--and explores its political and economic roots. It shows what can happen in the name of development and argues for a more organic, social approach with those it seeks to serve as equal partners in the process.
Maggie Black has written books for the Oxford University Press, UNICEF, and Oxfam. She has worked as a consultant for UNICEF, Anti-Slavery International, and WaterAid, among others, and has written for the Guardian, The Economist, and BBC World Service.
Maggie Black is a writer whose previous work has focused on development issues affecting the poor and disadvantaged, such as histories of Oxfam and UNICEF (OUP 1992, 1996). This has proven to be an unexpectedly beneficial apprenticeship for a study of her great-grandfather's pioneering life in Victoria, with its themes of exclusion of local Indigenous peoples, development of farming practices, and the construction of a new civilization.
