Race, Racism and Development is the first book to place constructions of race and racism at the center of a comprehensive analysis of the dominant discourses and practices of development. The author compares and contrasts two key theoretical approaches to race the postcolonial approach and a political economy approach - to provide the reader with provocative theoretical analyses, illuminated by topical case studies. Organized thematically, the insightful work includes a strong historical component, with parallels between the contemporary world and the colonial period. The book tackles human rights, imperialism, culture, ethnic conflict, HIV/Aids and the role of diasporas, and highlights the latent racialization in such debates to argue that development can only be understood within a full understanding of the relationship between north and south.
