To who ever knows more about this than I do,

I am a recent undergrad (minor in Women's Studies) and have taken a special interest in third world politics, especially involving thrid world women.  I consider my heritage third world (Native American) and wonder what "the experts" think of the Peace Corps.  I am currently trying to decide if its the right thing for me to do but I am strongly concerned about the issues of cultural imperialism and not wanting to perpetuate the disempowerment of third world peoples.  What are your opinions of the Peace Corps?  I would love to hear from anyone with an opinion.  Thank You
