Description

Explore a deeply personal account of international development in West Africa. In Intimate Colonialism, Laurie Charles shares her journey from completing her Ph.D. to serving as a Peace Corps volunteer. Tasked with designing programs to help adolescent girls remain in school, she encountered the complex politics and cultural barriers that impact the lives of local communities. This book goes beyond professional observations to offer a candid look at the personal experiences that shape development work. Charles writes about the human side of her mission, including her experiences with love, sexual fulfillment, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination. These personal realities added layers of complexity to her efforts to create change. As part of the Writing Lives: Ethnographic Narratives series, this work provides a unique perspective on the emotional and physical realities of life in Africa. It offers readers a look at the intimate relationships that provided hope and the challenges faced when trying to implement social programs in a foreign cultural landscape. This is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of personal identity and global development work.
