Social diversity hinges on three universal human realities. First, that each individual is unique. Second, that individuals and their societies are inter-related and inter-dependent. And third, that societies and cultures are dynamic: change, whether rapid or gradual, affects different members of society in ways that reflect differences in power and status. In this collection Naila Kabeer examines the meaning of gender relations in the contexts of development practice and of development institutions: a theme taken up by Lewis B. Dzimbiri in relation to refugee programmes and by Yezichalem Kassa and Feleke Tadele in diagnosing the needs of rural communities. Mark Gorman focuses on the needs of elderly people, while Tom and Francesca Scanlon and Maria Luiza Nobre Lamarao describe the challenges of working with street children and adolescents. Shubi L. Ishemo argues against approaches to development and relief that are not culturally familiar to the people affected.

Industry Reviews

This slim volume is aimed primarily at people working within development agencies in the southern sector and is committed to the dissemination of ideas and improving practice. The editors encourage people to use material within the book for discussion and education. The book finishes with an annotated bibliography which will be helpful and interesting to many people, whether or not they are practising development workers. This reflects the rest of the book, which I welcome as providing an easily accessible account of thoughtful action being carried out by people looking for positive change strategies. Community Development Journal, Vol. 32, No. 2, 1997.
