About the Book

Discourses of development have been part of the modern world, for good or for ill. In the past, various colonialisms have been justified by the notion of development, but so have efforts to provide alternatives to colonization. In this volume, present-day development and decolonial discourses are engaged together from a plurality of perspectives from various continents around the globe. In the chapters that follow, the work of junior and senior scholars enters into conversation around specific communities that exist in the tensions of traditional and capitalist economies and religions, providing models of flourishing that produce alternatives to the prevalent neoliberal models of development that are wedded to neocolonial economic, political, and religious structures. Part of a new series of volumes co-published with the Council for World Mission’s DARE (Discernment And Radical Engagement) programme.
