Description
Summary:"This book examines the way in which much 'third world' aid, far from contributing to the prosperity of recipient countries, helps to shore up global relations of domination and subordination. In particular, Goudge focuses on the role played by 'race' in discourses and practices of development, and on the impact of unacknowledged and often unconscious assumptions of white, Western superiority. For example, the unequal distribution of resources that results from global power imbalances is often attributed to the inferior capabilities of the black poor."--Jacket
