Encountering Development represents what has become an unfortunate growth industry in the 1980s abd 1990s: postmdodern critiques of the development industry. Escobar presents some stimulating criticisms of the whole development paradigm along with an assortment of critiques so abstract and jargon-ridden that it is difficult to understand what he and his compratriots actually mean. It is hard to argue that development efforts to date have measured up to what has been promised. But what is lacking in this book--as in most other works of this kind--are realistic, coherent and practical suggestions for alternatives.
