This optimistic view of three Latin American countries describes
community health programs and rural extension projects through the
people who do the work. They explain how credit is organized, describe
the routines at health posts, and discuss crops and cooperatives. Here
is powerful evidence of what can be accomplished when community-based
development focuses on people and their everyday problems. Lang argues
that local development is affordable, realistic, and irreplaceable.
