review of Dust from our Eyes: An unblinkered look at Africa by Joan Baxter

April 6, 2010
The book begins with some background on Africa, and I expected that anytime soon the background would end and Baxter would delve into what she believes to be “good” aid work … [instead,] she leaves to the reader the task of parsing from her experience what “good” work is really about, mostly through her examples of western exploitation and the “non-profit” work that often ties in with it.
