"What I think is important is to try to insist on a frame in which things like poverty are relational rather than a matter of a group of people who lack certain things. I think the key to understand critically such terms that are in vogue in development, is to understand them as a way in which groups are brought into social relations with each other. Some of the South African activists I’m talking with now say, ‘We’ve heard enough about ‘poverty alleviation’. What about wealth alleviation?’ And I think that kind of move is more than just a shift in terms."
