PLURIVERSE

A Post-Development Dictionary

EDITORS:
Ashish Kothari • Ariel Salleh • Arturo Escobar
Federico Demaria • Alberto Acosta
 Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary is a stimulating collection of over 100 essays on
transformative alternatives to the currently dominant processes of globalized development, including its
structural roots in modernity, capitalism, state domination, and masculinist values.

In the post-development imagination, 'development' would no longer be the organizing principle of

social life. The book presents worldviews and practices from around the world in a collective search for
an ecologically wise and socially just world. It also offers critical essays on a number of false solutions
that those in power are proposing in an attempt to ‘greenwash’ development. The 120+ contributors to
the volume include activists, academics, and practitioners, with a wealth of experience in their
respective fields of engagement.
