He explains how America used foreign aid, modernization theory, nutrition, statistics, and technology, to try to reconstruct the social and political order of the decolonized and disadvantaged countries in the region. Initially the issue of how best to intervene in Asia's rural countryside was contentious, with clashing visions of development and humanitarian aid being argued throughout the 50's and 60's. Ultimately, one strategy displaced all the others-the "Green Revolution" and the ability to feed millions through the miracle of genetically designed dwarf strains of grain and rice. Cullather provides a detailed explanation of how this policy of feeding Asian peasants became the single strategy of "progress" adopted by the US rather than industrialization or land reform. As current controversy swirls about how best to aid Africa in the crisis of nation-building, famine, and a poverty-stricken peasantry, the story of the U.S. interventions in Asia become starkly relevant. 001479279 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001479279 546__ $$aIn English. 001479279 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 01.
