Summary
"The Quiet Violence of Empire traces USAID's long and bloody history of development work in Afghanistan to reveal the transnational entanglements of imperialism and racial capitalism, deftly underscoring the notion of development as a form of slow violence. Thinking relationally across human geography, global studies, and critical ethnic studies, Attewell uncovers the explicitly racial underpinnings of international development theory and praxis"-- Provided by publisher
