A Village and Its NGOs: Co-constructing NGO Presence in Rural Malawi: African Social Studies Series, cartea 45

Autor Thomas McNamara
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2022
In rural Northern Malawi, villagers co-construct meanings for NGOs’ projects and resources. NGOs and their staff are invoked within, yet simultaneously influence, intra-community debates. This book explores NGO presence through detailing relationships, personhoods and social changes within a rural community. It argues that NGOs’ projects have less impact on many Malawians’ lives than the ways their presence encourages villagers to re-image development and renegotiate intra-community obligations and entitlements. The book examines moral economies and discourses of development by detailing how development narratives are built around the symbols development actors emit. It also investigates the intra-village social lives of development brokers.

Recenzii

[...] Any scholar or expert or student pursuing development work or academic work in African Studies will greatly benefit from McNamara’s detailed accounting of a dependency-based economy that is re-imagined on the local level through negotiated meanings within local leadership. His work brings the national political economy’s role and North South relations into full view by demonstrating NGO s limited agency in local development. [...]
