Decolonizing Development: Colonial Power and the Maya
Joel Wainwright
Descripción
Decolonizing Development investigates the ways colonialism shaped the modern world by analyzing the relationship between colonialism and development as forms of power.
- Based on novel interpretations of postcolonial and Marxist theory and applied to original research data
- Amply supplemented with maps and illustrations
- An intriguing and invaluable resource for scholars of postcolonialism, development, geography, and the Maya
The politics of state-led development projects since the 1950s are explored through three case studies: the works of a soil scientist who served the British colonial state in Belize; two agricultural development projects that intended to settle Maya agriculture by improving mechanized rice production; and a 'counter-mapping' project that offers an indigenous view of the geography of southern Belize. Wainwright demonstrates how development - a stage upon which colonial struggles are replayed - sustains the very power inequalities it aims to resolve.
