Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"More than four decades after one of the world s most impressive community-development efforts began, we can finally examine the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement in historical, cultural and political contexts. George Bond s book offers an excellent perspective on how the premises and practices of Sarvodaya evolved over time." "Provides hard-to-find details about the last 20 years of the momement and compares its construction of Buddhism with Buddhist nationalism and fundamentalism." "A must read." "Offers contemporary readers a moving testimony to the positive power of collective will and labor." "Bond gives a clear message of a people's pathway to environmental health, social peace and a poverty-free global society." "A work of considerable comparative value for assessing the interface between religion and politics and religion and economics in the developing world."

Reseña del editor

Globalisation and terror often seem to overshadow the positive potential of community development. In this study of the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement in Sri Lanka, the author explains how people can gain economic, political and social empowerment in the face of dramatic change.
