520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "This collection of essays is the first to chart what a specifically 'postcolonial politics' might look like in the context of global devel opment so as to question development's dominant cultural representation s and institutional practices." "The Postcolonial Politics of Developme nt examines recent development policy initiatives in such areas as 'gov ernance', 'human/gender rights', and 'participation' to better understa nd and contest how knowledge is produced in international development - its cultural assumptions and power implications. It shows how we, deve lopment practitioners and westernized elites/intellectuals, are complic it in this knowledge production. Such noble gestures as giving foreign aid or promoting participation and democracy often mask our institution al biases and economic and geopolitical interests, while silencing marg inalized groups, on whose behalf we purportedly work."--BOOK JACKET.
