Abstract
Race has been present in critical analysis of development for decades. However, its analytical potential has been mildly explored. For this reason, this article aims to contribute to an effort to bring race into current discussions on development studies and practice. It argues the need to be reflective of race and racist practices to facilitate a more horizontal dialogue with indigenous people. This argument is sustained by a fictionalised ethnographic case study based in the Andes. This case illustrates the complexities arising from the encounter of development experts and Quechua farmers in producing new knowledge, which sustain a similar practice as what De la Cadena’s has coined as silent racism.
