About this product

Product Information

Triumph of the Expert is a history of British colonial doctrine and its contribution to the emergence of rural development and environmental policies in the late colonial and postcolonial period. Joseph Morgan Hodge examines the way that development as a framework of ideas and institutional practices emerged out of the strategic engagement between science and the state at the climax of the British Empire. Hodge looks intently at the structural constraints, bureaucratic fissures, and contradictory imperatives that beset and ultimately overwhelmed the late colonial development mission in sub-Saharan Africa, south and southeast Asia, and the Caribbean.

Reviews
Hodge's study is a timely reminder that the modern discourses of development emerged out of particular histories, especially the efforts of colonial authorities and experts to manage the social, economic, and ecological crises of the late colonial world., "Huyendo de tópicos y determinismos, este libro constituye una minuciosa descripción de la lógica de dominación cultural y económica aplicada por Occidente. Se entienden mejor la racionalidad de sus políticas, sus contradiciones y los problemas que hoy en día repiten muchos organismos internacionales.... En cualquier caso su lectura es obligada par quienes trabajan en la idea de una globalizacion para el siglo XXI con grandes paralelismos con el proceso colonial ." "This book provides a detailed description of the rationale behind the cultural and economic domination by the West while avoiding clichés and determinism. It fully analyses the logic of the policies often followed by many international agencies today, with all their inherent problems and contradictions.... This should be required reading for whoever is struggling with the understanding the issues of globalization in the 21st century with its direct parallels to the colonial process." --Juan Infante Amate, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, "Hodge's meticulous historical analysis and extraordinary synthesis of the relevant case literature are a remarkable feat.... a smart, well-written, and accessible book...."-- American Historical Review, "Hodge provides an excellent analysis of the historical roots of the contradictions and problems associated with development.... Hodge's important and insightful book will generate considerable rethinking of many assumptions usually taken for granted about the globalization project."-- International Review of History, "Hodge brings to light the role that Britain's imperial networks of applied scientific and technical experts played in shaping development throughout the twentieth century...with its emphases on agrarian concerns, technical solutions, and state intervention..... A pathbreaking historical study with important implications for understanding the current nature of international development."-- Journal of British Studies, "Hodge's study is a timely reminder that the modern discourses of development emerged out of particular histories, especially the efforts of colonial authorities and experts to manage the social, economic, and ecological crises of the late colonial world."-- Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
