Book Synopsis
Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research on the Philippine island of Siquijor, this volume explores myths, meanings, and practices of development and its counterparts, progress and modernization. It does so not only by considering development as planned, community-wide interventions aimed at society-wide improvements in living standards, but by recognizing that development is personal.
