Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of the Myrna F. Bernath Book Award, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations"
"Meyerowitz's narrative puts into dialogue the usually separate histories of development doctrine, post-1960s leftism, global feminism, and the economics of microcredit. . . . A War on Global Poverty fills an important gap in the literature."---Nils Gilman, Journal of American History
"Joanne Meyerowitz’s A War on Global Poverty: The Lost Promise of Redistribution and the Rise of Microcredit makes clear that the US welfare state has always had an international dimension. We can’t understand how the social safety net eroded without examining its reach abroad."---Maia Silber, Chicago Review
"Meyerowitz rightly foregrounds the significance of gendered notions of uplift and empowerment in remaking international aid." * Boston Review *
