Winner of the Merle Curti Award in Intellectual History, Organization of American Historians Co-Winner of the Society for U.S. Intellectual History Book Award Thinking Small tells the story of how the United States sought to rescue the world from poverty through small-scale, community-based approaches. And it also sounds a warning: such strategies, now again in vogue, have been tried before, with often disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, far from eliminating deprivation and attacking the social status quo, bottom-up community development projects often reinforced themThis is a history with real stakes. If that prior campaigns record is as checkered as Thinking Small argues, then its intellectual descendants must do some serious rethinking How might those in twenty-first-century development and anti-poverty work forge a better path? They can start by reading Thinking Small. Merlin Chowkwanyun, Boston Review As the historian Daniel Immerwahr demonstrates brilliantly in Thinking Small, the history of development has seen constant experimentation with community-based and participatory approaches to economic and social improvementImmerwahrs account of these failures should give pause to those who insist that going small is always better than going big.
