The article discusses the book "Problems of Rural Development; Case Studies and Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives," edited by R.E. Dumett and L.J. Brainard. The articles in the book are taken from a series of "Interdisciplinary Seminars on Modernization and Development" held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. The book gives an overview of relevant phases of theories of rural development since the Second World War. The article states that empirical studies demonstrated that in many developing countries, even high rates of growth in Gross National Product are accompanied by growing inequalities of income distribution in both rural and urban areas, heavy rural out migration, urban unemployment and uneven overall development. Most of the articles in the book are case studies because they demonstrate the practical use of multi-disciplinary research. All articles are vivid and clear in the way they deal with the chosen problem and in the methods of thinking and analyzing by which they come to grips with the relevant factors and relationships.

The Holocaust, which Kushner centres, stands essentially midway between the beginning and the end of the book. [Extracted from the article]
