An Analysis of James Ferguson's The Anti-Politics Machine

By: Julie Jenkins

The Anti-Politics Machine (1990) examines how international development projects are conceived, researched, and put into practice. It also looks at what these projects actually achieve. Ferguson criticizes the idea of externally-directed ‘development’ and argues that the process doesn’t take proper account of the daily realities of the communities it is intended to benefit. Instead, they often prioritize technical solutions for addressing poverty and ignoring its social and political dimensions, so the structures that these projects put in place often have unintended consequences. Ferguson suggests that until the process becomes more reflective, development projects will continue to fail.

Perfect Likeness

European and American Portrait Miniatures from the Cincinnati Art Museum

By: Cincinnati Art Museum,Julie Aronson,Marjorie E. Wieseman,Cynthia Amnéus,Columbia Museum of Art

Diminutive marvels of artistry and fine craftsmanship, portrait miniatures reveal a wealth of information within their small frames. They can tell tales of cultural history and biography, of people and their passions, of evolving tastes in jewelry, fashion, hairstyles, and the decorative arts. Unlike many other genres, miniatures have a tradition in which amateurs and professionals have operated in parallel and women artists have flourished as professionals. This richly illustrated book presents approximately 180 portrait miniatures selected from the holdings of the Cincinnati Art Museum, the largest and most diverse collection of its kind in North America. The book stresses the continuity of stylistic tradition across Europe and America as well as the vitality of the portrait miniature format through more than four centuries. A detailed catalogue entry, as well as a concise artist biography, appears for each object. Essays examine various aspects of miniature painting, of the depiction of costume in miniatures, and of the allied art of hair work.

The Anti-Politics Machine

By: Julie Jenkins

James Ferguson's 1990 study The Anti-Politics Machine was a radical intervention in development studies that remains influential in the field today. It is also an excellent example of the way in which creative thinking can help shake up an idea, and show problems in a new light. Ferguson's interest was development strategies in the Third World - the interventions by which aid agencies, NGOs and individual countries try to raise poor areas or countries' economic and living standards. Embedded in the community in Lesotho (a small country in southern Africa), Ferguson noted that, time and time again, the same strategies were used by agencies and foreign powers, despite the fact that they had failed many times before. Seeking to analyse the implications of this discovery, Ferguson made a move that is often employed by creative thinkers: he stepped outside of the standard interpretative framework, and applied a novel way of interpreting the problem. In this case, Ferguson imported his framework and methodology from the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault, whose theories of power dynamics enabled Ferguson to see the failed development strategies from an entirely new perspective. It is a simple but impactful move that helped revolutionise the discussion."--Page 5.

Mason County, West Virginia Marriages, 1806-1915

By: Julie Chapin Hesson,Sherman Gene Hesson,Jane J. Russell

This remarkable book is an alphabetical listing of nearly the entire adult male (and some of the female) population of Monmouth County during the American Revolution--some 6,000 Monmouth Countians between 1776 and 1783. For roughly half of the persons listed, we find one or two identifying pieces of information, and in an equal number of cases we are presented with enough information to trace the allegiance or comings and goings of a Monmouth County resident over a number of years.
