[T]his is a very important book, raising serious questions for development theorists and environmentalists alike. —Boston Book Review
When Indian centenarian Chinnagounder asked Deane Curtin about his interest in traditional medicine, especially since he wasnt working for a drug company looking to patent a new discovery, Curtin wondered whether it was possible for the industrialized world to interact with native cultures for reasons other than to exploit them, develop them, and eradicate their traditional practices. The answer, according to Curtin, defines the ethical character of what we typically call progress. Despite the familiar assertion that we live in a global village, cross-cultural environmental and social conflicts are often marked by failures of communication due to deeply divergent assumptions. Curtin articulates a response to Chinnagounders challenge in terms of a new, distinctly postcolonial, environmental ethic.
