An ethnographic study of development work in postwar Angola, Implementing Inequality demonstrates how the international development industry’s internal social dynamics inadvertently replicate global inequalities. Underestimating the intense relational work of the development implementariat, its in-country implementation agents, development sabotages itself and must revisit how to assesses its work and workers.
