Bewitching Development by James Howard Smith
Presents an account of how people in the Taita Hills of Kenya have appropriated and made sense of development thought and practice, focusing on the complex ways that development connects with changing understandings of witchcraft.
"Bewitching Development offers a challenging approach to the issue of development and its intertwinement with witchcraftSkillfully grounded in rich ethnographic data, Smith's innovative interpretations of these urgent issues are highly convincing and will have a profound influence on ongoing debates." - Peter Geschiere, University of Amsterdam"
