This book is a collection of six essays, presenting an outsider's view of Western norms of progress, rationality and maturity. Drawing heavily on the ideas contained in two earlier volumes - At the Edge of Psychology (1980), and The Intimate Enemy (1983), Nandy stresses the importance of considering the world views of `non-modern' cultures in the Third World, rather than relying on the prosperous West for our definitions of progress. Students and teachers of economics, politics, sociology and Third World studies.
