  1. 11. The white wo/man's burden in the age of partnership : a postcolonial reading of identity in development aid

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; identity; development aid; postcolonial theory; developmet NGOs; partnership; post-development; discourse; Africa; Tanzania; Europe; Denmark; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Based on a study of two Scaninavian development NGOs in Tanzania, this thesis analyzes the construction of 'donor' and expatriate development worker identities and how these are manifested in development aid practice. While the thesis explores the articulation of 'donor' and expatriate development worker identities in a more general way, the identities are analyzed in relation to the policy of 'partnership' in particular: How are 'donor' identities manifested in the practices of development aid? How do they relate to the calls for partnership in which paternalism has no place, where 'partners progressively take the lead' and where communication is open and transparent? The thesis is based on interviews conducted in Tanzania in 1998 and 1999 and on an analysis of policy documents and other texts. LÄS MER
