The Development dictionary a guide to knowledge as power - London Zed Books 2010 - xx, 332 p. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Each essay examines one concept from a historical and anthropological point of view, highlights its particular bias, and exposes its historical obsolescence and intellectual sterility. The authors argue that a bidding farewell to the whole Eurocentric development idea is urgently needed, in order to liberate people?s minds in both North and South for bold responses to the environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity.
