Starting with this uncompromising statement, the author challenges preconceptions dominating rural development. The central theme of the book is that rural poverty is often unseen or misperceived by outsiders. those who are not themselves rural and poor. Dr Cham-bers contends that researchers, scientists, administra-tors and fieldworkers rarely appreciate the richness and validity or rural people's knowledge, or the hidden nature of rural poverty. He argues for a new profession-alism, with fundamental reversals in outsiders' learn-ing, values and behaviour, and proposes more realistic action for tackling rural poverty  a4479/HD/2026
