God's Other Children
(**Updated in 2015 - chapter 'Circumcision of Religion', plus recent HIV statistics and new cover art**) Shortlisted for the coveted Polari First Book Prize, this atypical non-fiction emotional roller coaster by Vernal Scott, a gay activist Londoner and former head of HIV services, is earning high praise from enthusiastic readers. His writing is soulful, raw, and unashamedly human. Forcefully revealing gay people as holistic, multi-racial and sexual, he also recalls the horror caused by AIDS and undeserved shaming by 'ruinous religion'. But there is much much more. Following a wide-ranging prologue, this dramatic true story starts out in happy but poor 1930s Jamaica. Scott's 'Windrush'-gener...

From encouraging charitable donations and delivering public health messages to promoting democratic participation and state accountability, the media can play a crucial role in development. Yet the influence of the media is not always welcome. It can also be used as a mechanism of surveillance and control or to disseminate hate speech and propaganda. How then should we respond to the growing importance of the media - including journalism, radio, television, community media and social media - for poverty and inequality? The first step is to acquire an informed and critical understanding of the multiple roles that the media can have in development. To help achieve this, this boo...

Seeing Like a State
“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University
