• This chapter analyzes strategies of dependent agents, using the empirical data and the works of James C. Scott and Jean-François Bayart. Performances of compliance echo donors’ priorities and rhetoric. In extraversion, dependent agents outwardly highlight their dependency using testimonies and claims of donor exclusion. Donor-funded trainings are often the site for learning extraversion motifs and perfecting performances of compliance, and brokers, or people who link donors to community members, may facilitate this learning. Resistance below the line includes using euphemisms, stretching the rules, and foot-dragging. While dynamic, these strategies create leverage that facilitates access to opportunities and resources.
