ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that the East and the West as part of the North represent the South in a very similar way and the temporal distinction between them is therefore misplaced. It focuses on the organization of the program in particular shows a commitment to local ownership: “Ngorongoro District Development Programme is a programme wholly owned and controlled by the District Councils”. The chapter explains the disruptions of logocentrism and of the general law of development in the analyzed discourses. It describes disruptions of the hierarchic development discourse in the attempts to fight negative stereotypes and to represent “them” positively, and a particular example of an almost reversal of the traditional hierarchy between “us” and “them” in one interview. It examines the consequences of the trend of representing the other in a positive way that is present in the most compelling form in one text from CARE Austria and in an interview with one respondent from this organization.
