Publisher Synopsis
This thoughtful book strongly but clearly puts forward its case for a different approach to economic development than is currently promoted by the Western establishment. It will be useful to those interested in economic development and Africa. Recommended. CHOICE One of the book's greatest strengths is the integrated approach it takes in assessing Mozambique's current situation. It draws in and explores the country's political, war-ravaged history, the legacy of Frelimo rule, and Mozambique's current geo-political context. (...) Thus is the scene set in order to underline the primary purpose of the book: to advocate a complete overhaul of the way in which development is conceived and the way in which it is treated by the donor community.
