Description

This scholarly work examines the complex role of Non-Governmental Organizations in African development, using the Rockefeller Foundation as a detailed case study. The book traces how major NGOs have functioned simultaneously as agents of colonialism, globalisation, and development while marginalising African values and customs. Through interdisciplinary analysis, it deconstructs long-held myths about NGO involvement in Africa and explores the paradoxical relationships between international organisations and African societies. Drawing on globalisation, postmodern, and postcolonial theories, the author reveals how NGO projects have engaged in patronage and 'othering' practices, offering critical insights into development policy and international aid frameworks. This Routledge publication provides essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and students studying African development, organisational history, and the intersections of colonialism and contemporary globalisation.

Key Features

The book historicises NGO involvement in Africa using the Rockefeller Foundation as a comprehensive case study demonstrating institutional paradoxes.

Uses interdisciplinary theoretical approaches including globalisation, postmodern, and postcolonial frameworks to analyse NGO practices in African contexts.

Examines how NGO projects have engaged in marginalisation, patronage, and 'othering' of African values and customs throughout their operations.

Published by Routledge as part of the African Studies series, offering scholarly credibility for academic and professional audiences.
