]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1120-imperialistic-education Paul made a comment on Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time:

I don't have much of anything to add- people have already tackled your questions well.
I would just add my own urging to go ahead and read it.
Worst case- you'll disagree with what he's doing but be that much more informed to have conversations like this in future.

I don't think you'll be disappointed though.
He works closely (and respectfully) with the local people to give them something they want (and which their own government has failed to provide). He does not impose any of his own values.
(here comes a small spoiler):

He even turned down some massive money from the US Government

So I'd say read it (but perhaps you already have, as this post was started back in July...) ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12814975 to: Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time (Paperback) by Greg Mortenson
A great read.
Written very well.
Tells an amazing story about an amazing man who is seeking peace not with bombs and guns, but with education.
