. Serge Latouche is Professor of Political Economy at the University of Paris XISurveying the ruinous impact of westernization with a broad historical sweep and across continents, Latouche not only condemns its role in the deculturation and underdevelopment of the so-called 'Third World' but also highlights the possibilities offered, against all western theories, by the survival strategies of self-organizing marginalized communities.' Bob Jessop, Lancaster University. 'In this intellectually sparkling and emotionally charged book, Serge Latouche criticizes the western model of civilization and development, which has become ever more pervasive in the wake of decolonizationI wanted to find out what it meant so I bought this book and started reading. This life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer was originally published in Germany in 2006 and translated into English this year. The man who wrote this work was an eminently able scholar. Rather than slinging a lot of jargon, it explains what the jargon means. Moreover this could have made so many peoples believe in a worldwide flood which could explain the legends found in many peoples around the world.But what do the Indians in the Amazon forest care about floods in the Black Sea area? This is the great deficiency of this book, that it fails to find a convincing explanation for the mass of data about a worldwide flood.More peoples who believed in a worldwide flood before they came in touch with Christian missionaries were for example the Montagnais Indians of Canada, also the Creek, Algonkin, Kaska, Nez Perce, Cayuse, Cherokkee, Natchez, in Middle America the Maya, Papagos, Aztecs, Pima, Tarahumare, Huichoil, Cora, Tamanaque, Arawak.
