White Man's Burden
This is the image which is discretely cropped on the cover of William Easterly's book, The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done so much Ill and so Little Good. My development students will be talking about this 1930's travel poster today.
Note that all of the Africans which appear in the travel poster have been airbrushed out for the book cover. The question for my students is: Why airbrush out all of the Africans in a book with the title White Man's Burden?
