Racialized identity in relation to international development is a surprisingly unanalyzed theme within anthropology, even though extensively explored in connection with contemporary western multi-cultural societies and historical relations between different parts of the world.

In the paper I explore race and whiteness in relation to international development, emphasizing the importance of analyzing how the historical construction of racial identity continues to inform actual lived relationships of people belonging to different geographical spaces. In order to capture the importance of development in visual and everyday lives of people in different parts of the world, I use the term “developscape”, adapting Arjun Appadurai's (1996) idea of globalization consisting of different “scapes”, furhtermore, as asking how this “developscape” is racialized. La identidad racializada en relación con el campo del desarrollo internacional es un tema sorprendentemente sin analizar dentro de la antropología, si bien extensamente explorada en vinculación a las sociedades occidentales multiculturales contemporáneas y las relaciones históricas existentes entre diferentes partes del mundo. En este artículo exploro la raza y blanquitud en relación al desarrollo internacional, enfatizando la importancia de analizar como la construcción histórica de la identidad racial continua modelando las relaciones del presente de gente que pertenece a diferentes lugares geográficos. En función de captar la importancia del desarrollo en la vida visual y cotidiana de la gente en diferentes partes del mundo, utilizo el término “paisaje de desarrollo”. Para ello adapto la idea de la globalización Arjun Appadurai (1996) como consistiendo en diferentes “paisajes”, y además, me pregunto sobre cómo es racializado el “paisaje de desarrollo”. A identidade racial em relação ao campo do desenvolvimento internacional é um tópico surpreendentemente não examinado dentro da antropologia, embora amplamente explorado em relação às sociedades ocidentais multiculturais contemporâneas e às relações históricas entre diferentes partes do mundo. Neste artigo, exploro raça e brancura em relação ao desenvolvimento internacional, enfatizando a importância de analisar como a construção histórica da identidade racial continua a moldar as relações atuais de pessoas pertencentes a diferentes localizações geográficas. Para apreender a importância do desenvolvimento na vida visual e cotidiana das pessoas em diferentes partes do mundo, emprego o termo “paisagem do desenvolvimento”. Para isso, adapto a ideia de Arjun Appadurai (1996) de globalização como constituída de diferentes “paisagens” e, além disso, me pergunto como a “paisagem do desenvolvimento” é racializada.
