    The Search for Alternative Paradigms

    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 1989
    Taking as his starting point the peculiarly Western origins of the modernization notion, and the failures of development it has inspired in practice, the author argues that an alternative development paradigm can no longer take the narrow goal of economic growth as its primary objective. Its usefulness as a guide to the new thinking about development taking place in the Third World is further enhanced by the extensive and thematically organized bibliography.
  5. Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital
    Resource Type: Book
    Published: 2013
    Against the thesis that Western subalterns are made of different stuff, Chibber argues that human beings are, at their core, not that different across contexts. The winds of history and culture may change many things, but not human constitutions. His defense of this argument sets the stage for a deliberate, careful explication of the key tenets of historical materialism. This argument is that humans, everywhere, take an interest in defending their well-being and their dignity.
