The World Bank, community development and education for social justice
For a long time the target of criticism, the World Bank has changed its image and received a more favourable press. Now it talks the language of development, has a routine presence in the worlds of adult education and community development and is seen by some as qualified to speak about education for social justice. This article critically examines the work of the Bank and argues that its values remain antithetical to social justice from the perspective of a transformative approach to community development. It concludes by asking what might be an appropriate relationship for community workers to develop with the Bank.
