"This rich and informative study of the impact of the Peace Corps experience upon volunteers contributes to a growing body of literature-most of it focusing upon the effect of U.S. programs and personnel in the Developing World-on the impact of international aid projects generally. More important, it demonstrates the ways in which those participating in such grass-roots programs have had their sensitivities broadened and deepened and their recognition of global issues-and the complex role of American policies and practices in them--enhanced." Norman R. Yetman, Emeritus Chancellors Club Teaching Professor of American Studies & Sociology, The University of Kansas.
