Book Synopsis
"Developed/underdeveloped", "first world/third world" - although there is nothing inevitable or arguably even useful about such divisions, they are accepted as legitimate ways to categorize regions and peoples of the world. This volume examines the ways these labels influence North-South relations.

Table of Contents
Part 1 Colonialisms: to be or not to be a colonial power; getting the "natives" to work. Part 2 Insurgencies and counterinsurgencies: precocious children, adolescent nations; resistance to Kenya. Part 3 Contemporary encounters: foreign aid, democracy and human rights; repetition and variation - academic discourses on North-South relations.
