This book discusses women-oriented microfinance initiatives in
India and their articulation vis-a-vis state developmentalism and
contemporary neo-liberal capitalism. It examines how these
initiatives encourage economically disadvantaged rural women to
make claims upon state-provided microcredit and connect with
multiple state institutions and agencies, thereby reshaping their
gendered identities. The author shows how Self-Help Group
(SHG)-based microfinance institutions mobilise agency and create
channels of empowerment for women as well as make them responsible
for alleviating poverty for themselves and their families. The book
also brings out the importance of factoring in women's dissenting
voices when they negotiate developmental projects at the grassroots
level. Rich in empirical data, this volume will be useful to
scholars and researchers of development studies, gender studies,
economics, especially microeconomics, politics, public policy and
governance.
