Taylor & Francis Poverty Capital
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2011 Paul Davidoff award!This is a book about poverty but it does not study the poor and the powerless; instead it studies those who manage poverty. It sheds light on how powerful institutions control capital, or circuits of profit and investment, as well as truth, or authoritative knowledge about poverty. Such dominant practices are challenged by alternative paradigms of development, and the book details these as well. Using the case of microfinance, the book participates in a set of fierce debates about development from the role of markets to the secrets of successful pro-poor institutions. Based on many years of research in Washington D.C., Bangladesh, and the Middle East, Poverty Capital also grows out of the author''s undergraduate teaching to thousands of students on the subject of global poverty and inequality.Trade Review"Poverty Capital is a must read for those interested in issues of poverty and inequality around the world. In taking an unflinching look at "bottom billion capitalism," it shows how development actually works and how global markets are actually constructed. Although concerned with practices of microfinance in the global South, the book provides an analysis that is strikingly relevant for discussions of subprime markets, the financial crisis, and social justice here in America."-Robert Reich, Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley, USA"Examining development as poverty management, Roy brings a unique focus to the contradictory relations of global microfinance. Her reflexive observations from local sites offer a provocative perspective on the 'democratization of development' via webs of knowledge spun in the World Bank's circuits of credit."-Philip McMichael, Development Sociology, Cornell University, USA"Poverty Capital sends readers on a fascinating journey across Washington, D.C., Beirut, Cairo, and rural Bangladesh, with little choice but to rethink the whole project of development. Along the way, Roy crafts a brilliant study on the seductions of microfinance, the travelling circuits (and circus) of poverty capital, and the ‘end of political economy’. A pure joy to read!"-Michael Goldman, Sociology and Global Studies, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA "Thoughtful, probing look at the economic development industry and its received wisdom. The popular microfinance movement is the book's motif. The author thinks like an academic and writes like a poet."-Jonathan Lewis, Huffington Post, USA"...a thought-provoking work for those interested in microfinance, poverty, and development economics." -J. E. Weaver, Drake University, Choice, December 2010'Ananya Roy's Poverty Capital is a fascinating book: an invigorating study of the practices and discourses of "microfinance".''...an important and impressive book....It is an admirable overview of contemporary microfinance in all its proliferating diversity and considerable complexity.'-Brett Christophers, Uppsala University, in Environment and Planning D, vol 29 2011'This book has many strengths. It is a well-conceived, timely, thorough study of a crucial issue; it is grounded by extensive fieldwork; and each chapter is full of nuanced observations on the histories and dynamics of microfinance institutions in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, the USA and elsewhere.'-Joel Wainwright, Ohio State University, in Environment and Planning D, vol 29 2011Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Gender Development and Environmental Governance
Book SynopsisA major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels â villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others â and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations. This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures.Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of womenâs groups within them and how the womenâs groups became a threat to mainstream institutions. Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden. Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender Trade Review'Telling, arguing, and analysing throughout this rich and original work, Seema Arora-Jonsson makes a strong theoretical case “for gender as integral to our analyses in order to be able to meet environmental and developmental challenges”'— Lars Rudebeck, Uppsala University, Development in Practice "Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is indeed an enlightening work in more ways than one. Especially admirable is the élan with which Arora-Jonsson pulls off a seemingly unsustainable project—comparing a highly developed and a developing society... Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is a valuable contribution to the corpus of the theoretical literature on gender and environmental studies and a must read for all gender and environment scholars."— Etee Bahadur, Journal of South Asian Development "The most significant contribution on of this book is its unconventional examination of daily life and informal networks, filtered through a gendered analysis... This is a great effort in undoing the sometimes artificial divide between the North and South. Because of its strengths in analyzing gender dynamics and its comparative nature, this book will be extremely interesting to those interested in issues of environmental governance, development, and gender."— Meenakshi Narayan, Michigan State University, Gendered Perspectives on International DevelopmentTable of Contents1.
