Resumen
Descripción
Relying on contributions from the
International Movement ATD Fourth World, this book deals
with questions such as: What does it mean to live in
poverty, and especially in extreme poverty? How can very
poor people be reached through development projects? How can
we assess whether projects succeed in changing the lives of
the poorest individuals? In answering these questions, the
emphasis is on exploring what type of knowledge is needed to
fight extreme poverty. A key argument is that apart from
academic knowledge, a concerted effort is needed to listen
to the knowledge of poor people themselves, as well as to
the knowledge of practitioners who are engaged with them on
a daily basis to fight poverty. After the introductory
chapter, the text of a speech by Joseph Wresinski (founder
of the International Movement ATD Fourth World) at a
congress of social scientists held at UNESCO, is reproduced.
The next contribution is based on comments by the
International Movement ATD Fourth World on the World Bank s
World Development Report 2004 Making Services Work for Poor
People. Thereafter, case studies are provided on
participatory approaches to attacking extreme poverty in
both developing countries (Madagascar and Tanzania, as well
as Bolivia, Guatemala, and Peru) and developed countries
(the United States and Belgium).
