Description: How revolutionary movements in the Americas mirror the language and styles of their opponents who favor traditional development.
Review Quotes: "This is an important and strikingly original work on a topic of enormous contemporary importance. By bringing disparate phenomena together and insisting that they may all be analyzed as examples of the unexamined perpetuation of developmentalist narratives in discourses and practices of resistance in the Americas, María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo allows a fresh light to be shed on what appeared to be well-trodden ground."--James Ferguson, coeditor of Culture, Power, Place: Explorations in Critical Anthropology
