Living with Uncertainty

Edward Carr

Chapter Chapter 4 in Delivering Development, 2011, pp 43-63 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While daily life in Dominase and Ponkrum can be repetitive, it is not predictable. The environment and economy of these villages, as in many other places on globalization’s shoreline, are subject to sudden changes (often called “shocks”) that create constant uncertainty. In Dominase and Ponkrum this uncertainty is deeply ingrained. Every night when Francis and I parted, I would say, “See you in the morning.” Francis would always reply, “In the morning … if God permits.” In these villages, even going to sleep for the night requires a caveat.
