"Expressions of love for humanity through philanthropy by people in power most often manifest in activities aimed at fixing people instead of the conditions they live in. However, philanthropic practices in its many forms by oppressed groups provide insights into how to address root causes of their suffering. Kim Williams-Pulfer's hyperlocal analysis of Bahamian philanthropic practices seeks to transform regressive notions of philanthropy into a concept that recognizes an authentic love that comes through resistance." - Andre M. Perry (author of Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities) "Williams-Pulfer brilliantly uses history, art, and storytelling to excavate and document previously 'undocumented' Black Caribbean traditions, cultures, and practices of giving in the Global South. Her cogent analysis demonstrates why centering Black people is essential to the intellectual project of understanding philanthropy as human practice." - Dr. Tyrone McKinley Freeman (author of Madam C.J. Walker's Gospel of Giving: Black Women's Philanthropy during Jim Crow) "The uniqueness of this book is in its examination of cultural identity, the development of civil society, and philanthropy through narratives of lived experiences. Its focus on the evolution and impact of the third sector in a small-island developing state in the Caribbean contributes new knowledge and charts new research paths." - Eris D. Schoburgh (co-editor of Developmental Local Governance: A Critical Discourse in 'Alternative Development')More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
