  Development from Within focuses on the relationship between local action and macro-event, arguing for flexibility as an ideology as well as a strategy. Presenting an alternative to structural adjustment, indigenous African scholars use case studies to explore the complex social relationships of power. Against the current tide of pessimism, the authors argue for the knowledge and skill of African peoples and illustrate the diverse means by which men and women in rural Africa struggle to survive.
