Since the 1970s, TfD has established itself as a process through which communities can address issues within their own self-development through participation in theatre practice. From its beginnings in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian sub-continent and Latin America, TfD has now spread across the globe as an effective development strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author examines TfD within the context of evolving development theories and practices, including participatory approaches that encourage individuals and communities to transform themselves from the objects into the subjects of their own development. The book is illustrated with case studies taken from around the world, and from many different development sectors, including health, literacy and voter education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is recommended to academics and students in the fields of theatre and development, development planning, cultural practice, performance theory, theatre and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDr Kees Epskamp was a senior staff member of the National UNESCO Commission, Netherlands.
