Summary

"This is an important and strikingly original work on a topic of enormous contemporary importance. By bringing disparate phenomena together and insisting that they may all be analyzed as examples of the unexamined perpetuation of developmentalist narratives in discourses and practices of resistance in the Americas, Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo allows a fresh light to be shed on what appeared to be well-trodden ground."--James Ferguson, coeditor of "Culture, Power, Place: Explorations in Critical Anthropology"

Author Biography

Maria Josefina Saldana-Portillo is an associate professor in the English Department and Ethnic Studies Program at Brown University.
