The short poem "The White Man's Burden" was written by Rudyard Kipling and published in McClure's in 1899. The subtitle "The United States and the Phlippine Islands" was seen as a warning to the imperial ambitions of the US, in the context of 400 years of European overseas empires.

A non-fiction book of the same name was written in 2006 by professor William Easterly of New York University. The book concerns the underlying reasons for the failures of many humanitarian aid programs in the developing countries of the world.
