{"product_id":"communicating-development-with-communities-linje-manyozo-9781138745995","title":"Communicating Development with Communities","description":"\u003cp\u003eDevelopment theory and practice are often taught in a manner that strips them of their historical context and obscures alternative intellectual assumptions and critical frameworks. This prevents students from acquiring a holistic understanding of the world and consequently, when it comes to development practice, most lack the skills to live and engage with people. It has become crucial to properly consider what it means to conceive and implement participatory development out in the field and not just in the boardroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the work of Robert Chambers and Arturo Escobar, \u003cem\u003eCommunicating Development with Communities\u003c\/em\u003e is an empirically grounded critical reflection on how the development industry defines, imagines and constructs development at the implementation level. Unpacking the dominant syntax in the theory and practice of development, the book advocates a move towards relational and indigenous models of living that celebrate local ontologies, spirituality, economies of solidarity and community-ness. It investigates how subaltern voices are produced and appropriated, and how well-meaning experts can easily become oppressors. The book propounds a pedagogy of listening as a pathway that offers a space for interest groups to collaboratively curate meaningful development with and alongside communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the fields of Development Studies, Communication for Development, Communication for Social Change, Social Anthropology, Economic Development and Public Policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Robin Mansell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linje Manyozo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138745995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138745995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Linje Manyozo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087768793343,"sku":"9781138745995","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30875f82-c4d6-4098-9688-0bf8f58eea37.jpg?v=1769101295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communicating-development-with-communities-linje-manyozo-9781138745995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
