{"product_id":"in-the-way-of-development-mario-blaser-9781842771938","title":"In the Way of Development","description":"Authored as a result of a remarkable collaboration between indigenous people's own leaders, other social activists and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this volume explores what is happening today to indigenous peoples as they are enmeshed, almost inevitably, in the remorseless expansion of the modern economy and development, at the behest of the pressures of the market-place and government. It is particularly timely, given the rise in criticism of free market capitalism generally, as well as of development. The volume seeks to capture the complex, power-laden, often contradictory features of indigenous agency and relationships. It shows how peoples do not just resist or react to the pressures of market and state, but also initiate and sustain \"life projects\" of their own which embody local history and incorporate plans to improve their social and economic ways of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Blaser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842771930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842771938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.05w x 0.81d","brand":"Mario Blaser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994563051775,"sku":"9781842771938","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3e91cc8-7441-4a8f-960e-e5c9cb3acf5d.jpg?v=1683330896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-way-of-development-mario-blaser-9781842771938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
