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. 410 0$aChicago studies in practices of meaning. 606 $aTaita (African people)$xSocial life and customs 606 $aTaita (African people)$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aWitchcraft$zKenya$zTaita Hills 606 $aEconomic development$zKenya$zTaita Hills 607 $aTaita Hills (Kenya)$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aTaita (African people)$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aTaita (African people)$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aWitchcraft 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a305.896/395 700 $aSmith$b James Howard$01808394 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958681703321 996 $aBewitching development$94358615 997 $aUNINA
