Zusammenfassung:"The development industry has come in for widespread criticism in recent years. This book focuses on the issue of identity in development aid by way of a nuanced and original investigation of Northern donor agency personnel as they deliver aid in Tanzania. The author explores how donor identities are constituted and manifested in the practices of development aid, and shows how the discourse of equal partnership between North and South loses its homogeneity in the field." "This book will be useful to students seeking an introduction to postcolonial studies, and to scholars interested in the realities of aid delivery. It also provides an excellent model of the ways in which postcolonial approaches can shed light on contemporary social realities."--BOOK JACKET.
