Publisher's Synopsis
Has charity had its day? Does it simply create dependency? How does it relate to aid?
This book is written for anyone with an interest in the role of charity in the 21st century: those in the academic community, those who work in the charity world, those who give (and those who don't), Christians and non-Christians.
Based both on academic research and in-depth interviews with recipients of charity in a village in rural Uganda, it aims to invite readers to take another look at charity, clear away some of the myths and misunderstandings that have accumulated over time and re-discover its power to transform.
