Product information "Trapped in the Gap"

A forensic analysis of the dilemmas of well intentioned white development workers in Australia. Explores what happens when well-meaning people, supported by the state, find themselves trapped by endless ambiguities and contradictions — a microcosm of the broader dilemmas of postcolonial societies. Explains why doing good is so hard, and how it could be done differently.
