Encountering development : the making and unmaking of the Third World / Arturo Escobar Princeton University Press Princeton, N.J 1995
He does this by “investigating how professional training provides the categories and concepts that dictate the practices of the institution’s members and how local courses of action are articulated by institutional functions” (109). For the summer, we are engaging in a type of service-learning. The discourse of war was displaced onto the social domain and to a new geographical terrain: the Third World. In order to do the best possible service, it is important to learn about the community we are living in. He draws on two examples, that of development in communities in Nepal and among the Gapun of Papua New Guinea to show the development encounter and illustrates how discursive homogenization was the “key to its success as a hegemonic form of representation” (53). Most importantly, we all have learned that Boston is facing many complex and multi-faceted issues that do need to be addressed and hopefully with our second month here, our group can continue to dive into the issues and provide service, while learning as much as possible. How did the postwar discourse on development actually create the so-called Third World? The Industrialized Countries, with 26 percent of the population, account for 78 percent of world production of goods and services, 81 percent of energy consumption, 70 percent of chemical fertilizers, and 87 percent of world armaments.
We are learning about Boston, our host community, about our nonprofits, and about ourselves while we are here this summer.

Admitting that the process of unmaking development “is slow and painful” and that “there are no easy solutions” (217) doesn’t stop Escobar from trying. It does not warrant that reviews are accurate.

Here Escobar deploys these new techniques in a provocative analysis of development discourse and practice in general, concluding with a discussion of alternative visions for a postdevelopment era. .

Escobar's credentials as a critic of development economics are well grounded in years of experience in development programs. So what’s the point of even getting out? It offers a statement of what might be understood bya genealogical perspective and method, and then focuses on the emergence of a ‘liberal mode of government’ of poverty in the early nineteenth century, of which the reformed poor law in England is emblematic but not exhaustive. In many Third World countries, military expenditures exceed expenditures for health.

The paper provides a summary and a critique of Freire’s notions in regard to education, philosophy and politics.
Aside from the service component, the learning aspect of this service-learning trip comes from many directions. Escobar first tackles the “problematization of poverty” which he contends is a result of the formulation and solidification of development discourse from the early post-World War II period to the present. Escobar emphasizes the role of economists in development discourse--his case study of Colombia demonstrates that the economization of food resulted in ambitious plans, and more hunger. .
