This groundbreaking book delves into the emotional and affective dimensions of development, offering fresh perspectives that go beyond simply studying emotions and/or affects. By examining the affective dimensions of development, it sheds light on the intricate interplay between these aspects and the broader structural conditions that perpetuate material and social inequalities and deprivations. Recognizing the critical role of affect and emotions in fostering disruption and transformation, the book explores how they enrich our understanding of power configurations in development while also being mindful of the forces that can undermine them.

Spanning from micro to macro scales, the chapters in this volume unravel the complexities of power in development, enhancing our understanding of development as an inherently political process. They highlight the possibilities for resistance and transformation while providing valuable insights into power in development theory and practice.

Drawing on rich empirical research from across Asia and Australia, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in anthropology, third-world studies, development studies, and development theory. It introduces new lines of enquiry that will deepen our understanding of the complex dynamics of power in development and inspire further research and action.
