Post-colonial, post-modern and feminist critiques have challenged the ways we theorise and practice development. Development is not just the conclusion of economic logic; its histories reveal a legacy of contested power, illuminating the contemporary battlefields of knowledge. These essays explore the language of development, its rhetoric and meaning within different political and institutional contexts. The contested ideas behind world development are explained, with illustrative material, sensitive to place and time, chiefly drawn from Asia, Africa and Latin America. This book examines the power of development to imagine new worlds and to constantly reinvent itself as the solution to problems of national and global disorder.

This book provides an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to women’s health. Historical, sociocultural, psychological and biophysiological aspects of women’s development are woven together to provide a complete women-centered perspective of health. While several excellent books in print provide information on diagnosis and treatment of women and address women’s growth and development, Lewis and Bernstein strive to fill a void by marrying these perspectives. The book also offers a thorough investigation into the life cycle of women, And The roles of women as individuals and members of their communities and cultures.
