| Summary |
"Arthur and Susan Holcombe trace the evolution of their thinking about Third World poverty reduction strategies from their graduate study of economic and social development at the University of Pittsburgh through careers with the UN and with nongovernmental organizations (TPAF and Oxfam America). They worked and lived in East Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Pacific, Sudan and China. Their work took them to Tibet, Gaza, the Andes, Cambodia and elsewhere.Their college years at Harvard and Mount Holyoke gave them a global perspective. Here they describe the political, economic, social, demographic and environmental factors influencing poverty. They identify key development programs focused on human development. The memoir concludes with a retrospect of conditions prevailing in countries where they earlier worked"--Back cover. |
