In Dilemmas of Difference Sarah A. Radcliffe explores the
relationship of rural indigenous women in Ecuador to the
development policies and actors that are ostensibly there to help
ameliorate social and economic inequality. Radcliffe finds that
development policies's inability to recognize and reckon with the
legacies of colonialism reinforces long-standing social
hierarchies, thereby reproducing the very poverty and
disempowerment they are there to solve. This ineffectiveness
results from failures to acknowledge the local population's
diversity and a lack of accounting for the complex intersections of
gender, race, ethnicity, class, and geography. As a result,
projects often fail to match beneficiaries' needs, certain groups
are made invisible, and indigenous women become excluded from
positions of authority. Drawing from a mix of ethnographic
fieldwork and postcolonial and social theory, Radcliffe centers the
perspectives of indigenous women to show how they craft practices
and epistemologies that critique ineffective development methods,
inform their political agendas, and shape their strategic
interventions in public policy debates.
