International service learning (ISL) programs are growing more
popular with students looking to advance their skills and knowledge
to become global citizens. While the benefits of these programs
among students are well documented, little is known about the
implications they have on host communities themselves. This volume
explores the impact of ISL programs on members of host communities
(e.g. host families and local partner NGOs) who are increasingly
influenced by the presence of international students in their
lives. Drawing upon post-colonial, feminist and other critical and
decolonizing theories, it examines the complicated power relations
between North American ISL students and host communities in East
and West Africa, the Caribbean and Central America. It stresses the
importance of developing trusting relations between ISL students,
faculty and individuals in the host communities to create mutually
engaging learning experiences.
