258 pages., "The developing world is littered with bodies of abandoned or dead development initiatives...Development dies on the very day that external and internal experts, without an understanding of the local setting, come in with their fancy ideas about implementing strategies and initiatives that do not build on local knowledge and strengths."

Notes:
Keynote speech at the "Rural America, Community Issues" conference, Knight Center, University of Maryland, June 12, 2005. 6 pages., Sketches problems in rural America and describes two campaign efforts of the Center to bring people together and reframe rural perceptions. One involved opposition to plans by CBS to produce a reality show, "The Real Beverly Hillbillies." The other involved opposition to a plan to exempt all but the largest banks from Community Reinvestment Act obligations. "And the press has a critical role to play." Not as advocates, but to cover rural issues better.
