In the Name of Development: A Reflection on Nepal FROM THE PUBLISHER
This book focuses on how development victimizes people from different walks of life. Unlike many other books on third world development, this book serves as a voice to the voiceless, the silent victims of development. It highlights real life stories rather than lifeless data as indices of development.
Author Biography: Nanda R. Shrestha is Associate Professor in the School of Business and Industry at Florida A & M University in Tallahasee, Florida.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A passionate indictment of the development policies being wrought by America in Nepal. Drawing heavily on the life stories of individual Nepalese, the author argues that both the economic winners and losers in this game are victimized by the structures and assumptions of Western development. He examines such issues as the growth of pot culture and prostitution, the growing poverty of the Nepalese poor, the subordination of Nepalese elites to Westerners, and the history of development policy in Nepal.
