Another revolution Fails / edited by Alvares claude

This is not the first critical volume on Operation Flood, neither is it going to be the last. An earlier book, Operation Flood: Development or Dependence, is still a minor classic in the field, but it had the disadvantage of not being brought out by a commercial publisher, and therefore, not being readily accessible to the public.

This book brings together contributions from major and

persistent critics of Operation Flood within a single cover. While we have not attempted a comprehensive of every aspect of the project, at least the major issues have been covered, some in detail. Chapter one introduces the wider context of food aid: and its use to further imperialism.. While my own article examines the role of indigenous political/business elites in exploiting such aid, often making it possible or giving it legitimacy, Bharat Dogra in a companion piece examines the impact of such aid on the receiving country, and the benefits that invariably flow to the donors of such aid.

Chapter two reproduces The White Lie, as it originally appeared in the Illustrated Weekly of tions. The article cause India, with a few correc caused an uproar in Parliament, and a Government decision to appoint which among other things, would also go oint an evaluation charges. Later, in retaliation against ation commit into mmittee, the article's the announcement of an evaluation, a large number of staff from the NDDB. threatened to resign in a well orchestrated campaign of blackmail. The White Lie should have been substantially revised in the light of more knowledge, but has been reprinted as it is, for the record, and since the particular issue of the Weekly is no longer available.
