Description
Race, Racism and Development interrogates the central role of racism in development policies and practices. By combining insights from postcolonial and race critical theory with a political economy framework, Kalpana Wilson offers provocative theoretical analyses of the relationships between development, capital, embodiment, resistance, and power.
The book exposes how race is integral to development policies on human rights, security, good governance, HIV/AIDS, population control, NGOs, visual representations, and diasporas in development. It raises important questions about contemporary imperialism and the possibilities for transnational political solidarity.
