Aid and the Help: International Development and Transnational Extraction of Care.

- Abstract
"Aid and the Help: International Development and Transnational Extraction of Care" is a book that explores the intersection of international development and paid domestic work in Senegal. The author, Dinah Hannaford, argues that the international development industry relies on the extraction of local reproductive labor by expats, challenging the notion of Western aid as benevolent. The book also reimagines the term "migrant" to include workers from developed countries working overseas and examines the contentious intimacies between expat employers and local domestic workers. Overall, this ethnographic study provides a critical perspective on post-colonial global inequalities and is recommended for courses on migration, labor, development, intimacies, and economy.
