    Abstract

    Implicit in definitions and in the practice of community and economic development are assumptions that the processes and outcomes will improve the human condition.

The study suggests that the African-descendent mangrove and swamp communities negotiate, adapt, and resist the changes through a process of bounded and alienated collective intentionality.
