Paul Bowles has recently published a new co-edited volume, The Essential Guide to Critical Development Studies, Routledge, July 2017 (with Henry Veltmeyer). Critical Development Studies challenges mainstream approaches to development and places class, imperialism and gender at the centre of discussions of development processes and the search for alternatives. The book contains 37 chapters with contributions from leading scholars in the field from around the world. Each contributor supplements their overview with a guide to the critical development studies literature on the topic, thereby providing scholars and students not only with a precis of the key issues, but also a signpost to further readings.
