Using recent research on development projects around the world, this book argues that culture has become an explicit tool and framework for development discourse and practice. Providing a theoretical and empirically informed critique, this informative book includes conceptual overviews and case studies on topics such as:                    development for indigenous people      natural resource management      social capital and global markets for Third World music      post-apartheid South Africa      cultural difference in the USA‚Äôs late capitalism.               The editor concludes by evaluating the outcomes of development‚Äôs ‚Äòcultural turn‚Äô, proposing a framework for future work in this field. By combining case studies from both ‚ÄòThird World‚Äô and ‚ÄòFirst World‚Äô countries, the book, ideal for those in the fields of geography, culture and development studies, raises innovative questions about the ‚Äòtransferability‚Äô of notions of culture across the world, and the types of actors involved.
