Paying particular attention to the material processes by which success is achieved and the different meanings and discourses that they act to perform, this book offers a timely and novel approach to how the world of development NGOs and development ideologies work. The author argues that the College, as a prolific producer of various forms of development media, achieves its success through materially mediated heterotopic spectacles: enacted and imperfect utopias that constitute the desires, imaginings and Otherness of its society. The chapters that follow consider the different scenarios through which success was realised at the College. 410 0$aNew ethnographies. 606 $aNon-governmental organizations$zIndia$zRajastha 610 $aBarefoot College. 610 $aBunker Roy. 610 $aDevelopment. 610 $aHeterotopia. 610 $aNGO. 610 $aSolar. 610 $aSpectacle. 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations 676 $a068.54 700 $aAllen$b Stewart$0324665 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813181803321 996 $aAn ethnography of NGO practice in India$93972065 997 $aUNINA
