This volume explores the impact of international service learning programs on members of host communities (local residents, business owners and hosting families) who are increasingly influenced by the presence of international students in their lives. Drawing upon post-colonial, feminist and other critical theories, it examines the complicated power relations between North American students and their host communities in South Africa and Central America. It stresses the importance of developing relations between North American students, faculty and individuals in the host communities to create a mutually engaging learning experience.
