An innovative history of how volunteers helped build a global consensus that Western development intervention across the Global South was desirable, even as critics in aid-recipient nations suggested it was a form of neocolonialism. It will benefit scholars and students of history, development studies and international relations.

Agnieszka Sobocinska first set foot in Asia while still in her teens. The travel bug bit hard and she has since spent several years travelling, living and working throughout the region. She is also an historian and Deputy Director of the National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University. With David Walker, she is the coeditor of Australia's Asia: From Yellow Peril to Asian Century, which is being translated into Mandarin. She's about to take on her biggest challenge yet: leading a class of university students on a study tour of Indonesia.
