Description: In recent years, sustainable development has emerged as a central goal of the World Bank and grassroots activists alike. In Grassroots Struggles for Sustainability in Central America, Lynn R. Horton explores the implications of this new, often contested discourse and related policies for Central America's rural and indigenous poor.
Review Quotes: "Horton's book is an important contribution to scholarly literature on sustainability in the developing world...a thoughtful, nuanced analysis of sustainable development policies and practices in Central America at grassroots level."
