On saviours and saviourism
In 2020, the Canadian-based humanitarian organisation WE was the subject of a funding scandal in Canada that cast a critical light on its finances and mandate. The scandal tarnished the reputations of the organisation and its founders, Craig and Marc Kielburger, who had been lauded as model global citizens for more than two decades. This paper uses the controversy as an example to distinguish between the increasingly disparaged trope of the white…
Globalizing Afghanistan
Globalizing Afghanistan offers a kaleidoscopic view of Afghanistan and the global networks of power, influence, and representation in which it is immersed.

Seeking to understand the events of the past decade in a b…

Postcolonial Resistance

Bhaba have explored instances of revolt, opposition, or subversion, but there has been insufficient critical analysis of the concept of resistance, particularly as it relates to liberation or social and cultural transformation. In Postcolonial Resistance, Davi…
For sale — Peace of mind
World Vision Canada's television fundraising appeals construct Canadian sponsor identity in relation to a ‘needy’ ‘Third World’ other. These programmes utilise structures of identification reminiscent of earlier forms of colonial discourse and are dependent upon discourses of consumercapital. World Vision's presentation of the act of sponsorship as a life-changing act of self-fulfillment deludes the viewer or sponsor of the complex relations whic…
