Laya is on page 7 of 121 of How Societies Remember (Themes in the Social Sciences)

Intrigued. As much as we discuss about 'political consciousness' how much do we think about the 'political unconscious'? Is political education really simply a just matter of throwing a light on the unconscious and bringing it to consciousness? Is this really a universal all-purpose 'light'?

Laya is on page 81 of 168 of Sustainable Livelihoods and Rural Development (Agrarian Change and Peasant Studies)

Hmm, not satisfied with how the book tries to integrate development theory and practice. It looks more like Scoones trying to have the cake (be useful for development practice) and eating it too (main academic rigor for 'analysis')

First time reading Sacco, I didn't expect him to get into nuances of rural UP this well! His reliance on local fixers, provincial group leaders, beat journalists and nearby state uni professors is wise
