- The book draws on multiple fieldwork visits (1998-2012) and synthesises fieldwork-based writings from 2000 to 2013 to produce an analysis of how the intersection of development technologies and state projects creates economic and social opportunities at all levels. The book explores participatory development and the emergent middle classes and the appropriation of modern organisational forms as foundational to new modes of sociality and enterprise, and provides an innovative contribution to the ethnography of development and of East Africa. These insights were dependent on sustained engagement with Tanzania during the time when this donor-driven aid regime consolidated itself.
