Ray Bush is Professor of African Studies and Development Politics, University of Leeds. He is the author of Poverty and Neoliberalism (Pluto, 2007).
'This is a truly refreshing and engaging book on neo-liberalism and
its discontents in the Global South'
*Adebayo Olukoshi, Executive Secretary, CODESRIA*
'Unveils the conceptual uses and abuses of 'poverty' and breaks new
ground in the way we think about class and other social struggles
in Africa'
*Patrick Bond, Director, University of KwaZulu-Natal Centre for
Civil Society, Durban, South Africa*
'Ray Bush explains eloquently and powerfully the persistence and
deepening of poverty in Africa'
*John Loxley, Professor of Economics and Research Co-ordinator,
Global Political Economy Program, University of Manitoba,
Canada*
'A hard-headed and systematic critique of the way the goal of
development has been replaced by hand-wringing about 'poverty' has
been badly needed. Ray Bush's cogent and detailed analysis is one
no student - and no 'anti-poverty' campaigner, however celebrated -
will be able to ignore'
*Colin Leys, Emeritus Professor at Queen's University, Kingston,
Canada, and author of The Rise and Fall of Development Theory*
