Message-ID: <Pine.HPP.3.91.960111153016.25592A-100000 Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 15:36:35 -0800 From: Matt Siemens <mailto:msiemens@ECST.CSUCHICO.EDU> Subject: De-Development To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L <mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU>
I realize that most individuals on this list are interested in the promotion of development in those areas deemed "under-developed." However, I am interested in the views and resources available to all of you regarding the critical investigation of development and potentially de-development.This list appears to be very sighted in short term goals. For example: appropriate places for insertion of capital, use of technology to help the not yet perfected "other," and generally a resource oriented view. I realize that this isn't the case for some of the individuals on this list, yet it seems to be a focus. The recent thread regarding indigenous knowledge seemed to have an air of authority from the already "colonized" toward the "to be colonized."
Any critical insight is greatly welcomed.
