Instead, this volume concentrates on how values enter into collecting, interpreting, communicating and evaluating the evidence of risks, that is, issues of the acceptability of evidence of risk.Environmental ethics and science policy.Risk managementTechnologyRisk assessmentElectronic books.Risk management.TechnologyRisk assessment.363.1Hollander Rachelle D935845Mayo Deborah G935846MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458250303321Acceptable evidence2108208UNINA04153nam 2200721 a 450 991045269480332120200520144314.01-282-16644-197866138095130-226-76459-110.7208/9780226764597(CKB)2550000000110991(EBL)977910(OCoLC)804664924(SSID)ssj0000687354(PQKBManifestationID)12259903(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000687354(PQKBWorkID)10757122(PQKB)10107691(MiAaPQ)EBC977910(DE-B1597)523119(OCoLC)1135576779(DE-B1597)9780226764597(Au-PeEL)EBL977910(CaPaEBR)ebr10582958(CaONFJC)MIL380951(EXLCZ)99255000000011099120080108d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBewitching development[electronic resource] witchcraft and the reinvention of development in neoliberal Kenya /James Howard SmithChicago University of Chicago Press20081 online resource (287 p.)Chicago studies in practices of meaningDescription based upon print version of record.0-226-76457-5 0-226-76458-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Bewitching development : the disintegration and reinvention of development in Kenya -- I still exist!

For critics who condemn centralized efforts to plan African societies as latter day imperialism, such plans too closely reflect their roots in colonial rule and neoliberal economics. But proponents of this pessimistic view often ignore how significant this concept has become for Africans themselves. In Bewitching Development, James Howard Smith presents a close ethnographic account of how people in the Taita Hills of Kenya have appropriated and made sense of development thought and practice, focusing on the complex ways that development connects with changing understandings of witchcraft. Similar to magic, development's promise of a better world elicits both hope and suspicion from Wataita. Smith shows that the unforeseen changes wrought by development-greater wealth for some, dashed hopes for many more-foster moral debates that Taita people express in occult terms. By carefully chronicling the beliefs and actions of this diverse community-from frustrated youths to nostalgic seniors, duplicitous preachers to thought-provoking witch doctors-BewitchingDevelopment vividly depicts the social life of formerly foreign ideas and practices in postcolonial Africa.
