Description
White Saviorism in International Development Theories, Practices and Lived Experiences explores the complex issue of white saviorism in international development. This concept refers to the way benevolent but predominantly white individuals lead aid initiatives that often reinforce the victimization of racialized populations.
The book examines how this phenomenon manifests in various fields, including education, cinema, tourism, volunteerism, and feminism. It also delves into the ways in which researchers have addressed white saviorism, highlighting the need for more nuanced studies that integrate race and colonial variables.
By shedding light on this pervasive issue, the authors aim to spark a critical conversation about the power dynamics at play in international development. This thought-provoking analysis is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of global aid and its impact on marginalized communities.
