"Provocative, exceptionally well organized work. ―Choice

"From people who for years have been in touch with both Third World villages and the major aid agencies, here is a call for nothing less than a total overhaul of US foreign assistance and, with it, concrete proposals for how to do it." ―Francis Moore Lapp�, Small Planet Institute

"Should be read by all those concerned about the contradictions inherent in development assistance." ―Peggy Antrobus, University of the West Indies

"An eloquent indictment of how US assistance to the people of the Third World has contributed to the progressive modernization of their poverty. The authors cut through the rhetoric and clich�s of Washington." ―Fantu Cheru, American University

Decades after Aid for Just Development launched a citizen’s initiative and formed part of a Congressional effort to reform US foreign assistance, the very nature and future of that assistance is at a crucial turning point. The authors’ proposals for a more streamlined program are now accepted across much of the political spectrum―but in the current political climate, with the ultimate shape of the entire US government uncertain, their insistence that aid for just development must be separated from aid that promotes geopolitical, ideological, and special economic interests poses a challenge that is more relevant today than ever.
