When Grameen Bank was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006,
microfinance was lauded as an important contributor to the economic
development of the Global South. However, political scandals,
mission-drift, and excessive commercialization have tarnished this
example of responsible or inclusive financial development.
Politicized Microfinance insightfully discusses exclusion while
providing a path towards redemption. In this work, Caroline Shenaz
Hossein explores the politics, histories and social prejudices that
have shaped the legacy of microbanking in Grenada, Guyana, Haiti,
Jamaica and Trinidad. Writing from a feminist perspective,
Hossein's analysis is rooted in original qualitative data and
offers multiple solutions that prioritize the needs of marginalized
and historically oppressed people of African descent. A must read
for scholars of political economy, diaspora studies, social
economy, women's studies, as well as development practitioners,
Politicized Microfinance convincingly deftly argues for
microfinance to return to its origins as a political tool, fighting
for those living in the margins.
