"Holmen provides us with a highly readable and discerning introduction to a complex and urgent issue, the role of African organizations in development. His approach is critical yet empathetic. His writing is elegant in its simplicity. His research is impeccable and his argument is powerfully persuasive, that, if development is to succeed, it must be self-organized from the bottom-up."
