520    "These days, development inspires scant trust in the West.
       For critics who condemn centralized efforts to plan 
       African societies as latter day imperialism, such plans 
       too closely reflect their roots in colonial rule and 
       neoliberal economics. But proponents of this pessimistic 
       view often ignore how significant this concept has become 
       for Africans themselves. In Bewitching Development, James 
       Howard Smith presents a close ethnographic account of how 
       people in the Taita Hills of Kenya have appropriated and 
       made sense of development thought and practice, focusing 
       on the complex ways that development connects with 
       changing understandings of witchcraft. Similar to magic, 
       development's promise of a better world elicits both hope 
       and suspicion from Wataita. Smith shows that the 
       unforeseen changes wrought by development - greater wealth
       for some, dashed hopes for many more - foster moral 
       debates that Taita people express in occult terms. By 
       carefully chronicling the beliefs and actions of this 
       diverse community - from frustrated youths to nostalgic 
       seniors, duplicitous preachers to thought-provoking witch 
       doctors - Bewitching Development vividly depicts the 
       social life of formerly foreign ideas and practices in 
       postcolonial Africa." Publisher's Description.
