White Saviorism in International Development: Theories, Practices and Lived Experiences.
Watch now
There is a growing interest in understanding the meaning, manifestations, analysis and implications of racism in North/South relations. White Saviorism in International development seeks to remedy the shortcomings of development studies literature on the prevalence of White Saviorism in Western development initiatives in the Global South.
The volume comprises theoretical chapters, testimonies, stories and lived experiences from 19 contributors from across the Global South. With sensitivity and intelligence, these practitioners and academics create a tapestry that unveils the implicit and explicit forms of White Saviorism in international development.
