	Culture and Public Action: Further Reading
		Development anthropology constitutes research by anthropologists, both those in academia and those working for development institutions, whose aim is to use anthropology to improve not only the theory and practice of development, but also the quality of life of people around the world.
		The emergence of "development anthropology" and with it a closer collaboration of anthropologists with development stemmed from a number of factors.
		Many argue that development anthropology has been engaged in systematic critique of the development process, the analysis of destructive or potentially destructive interventions, the exposure of the internal complexities and socioeconomic differentials of people/groups, and in continuous questioning of the processes, assumptions, and agencies of development.

	Human Organization: Anthropology and development: Evil twin or moral narrative?
		But development anthropology can also be viewed as a project that provides a moral narrative, based on ethical concerns, that justifies involve nt in the fate of others.
		The anthropological engagement with development continues to be contested, contentious, and criticized-but more from the anthropological than the developmental side, a process that has increasingly assumed an air of permanence, perhaps exacerbated by the growing number of anthropologists directly or indirectly involved in development.
		The strained relationship that exists between academic anthropology and development anthropology, in which the former views the latter as second-rate, both intellectually and morally (Gow 1993), and the latter views the former as irrelevant, both theoretically and politically (Little and Painter 1995), has been characterized as an ongoing family dispute (Ferguson 1997).

	ANTH259 - Anthropology of Development
		We will examine the various ways in which development has been conceptualized, approached, and critiqued by different sets of theorists.
		These critical analyses of development argue that development operates as a "regime of representation and power" that creates people's and nations' identities (such as "poor", "underdeveloped", and "modern") and then exerts control over them.
		However, instead of assuming that development works as a monolithic and totalizing force that only exerts power over people, we will look at ethnographies that show how development is "received," understood and sometimes contested by people at the grassroots-level.
