Building dams in India, planting trees in Burkina Faso, rescuing street children in Brazil - these are images of aid and international development with which we can all identify. What few people realise, as Maggie Black explains in this No-Nonsense Guide, is that the terms "overseas aid" and "international development" mask confusion, contradiction, and even downright deceit. All too often what passes for development improves life for the better-off, while actively hurting the very people the venture was meant to support. What we need for the future, she proposes, is more realism, less hypocrisy and a more accurate picture of what is happening in development's name. Only then can a process be established which truly defends the interests of the poor.
