Despite the World Bank's profound impact on economic, political and social conditions during the post-World War II era, cultural critics have largely ignored yhe institution. Working to correct this blind spot, Bret Benjamin's Invested Interests presents the first extended cultural analysis of the World Bank. Benjamin argues that the Bank shapes, and is in turn shaped by, historical pressures of the age- most significantly the rise of third world national liberation movements. Reading a broad array of midcentury archival materials, he also examines the Bank's prominent place in the thinking of such anti-imperialist intellectuals as Aimé Cesaire, Frantz Fanon and Richard Wright.
