'With its breadth and depth, The International Handbook of Gender
and Poverty certainly deserves a place on the bookshelves of
university libraries and of every academic and development
professional with a specific interest in gender and development.'
Gender in Management: An International Journal 'I recommend this
book to be a staple of reference libraries.' British Politics and
Policy 'These diverse, thoughtful essays go far beyond a mere
summary of international scholarship. They outline a fascinating
and provocative agenda for future policy-relevant research. This
book will help redefine and revitalise the field of gender and
development.' - Professor Nancy Folbre, Department of Economics,
University of Massachusetts, Amherst In the interests of
contextualizing (and nuancing) the multiple interrelations between
gender and poverty, Sylvia Chant has gathered writings on diverse
aspects of the subject from a range of disciplinary and
professional perspectives, achieving extensive thematic as well as
geographical coverage. This benchmark volume presents women's and
men's experiences of gendered poverty with respect to a vast
spectrum of intersecting issues including local to global economic
transformations, family, age, 'race', migration, assets, paid and
unpaid work, health, sexuality, human rights, and conflict and
violence. The handbook also provides up-to-the-minute reflections
on how to theorize, measure and represent the connections between
gender and poverty, and to contemplate how gendered poverty is
affected - and potentially redressed - by policy and grassroots
interventions. An unprecedented and ambitious blend of conceptual,
methodological, empirical and practical offerings from a host of
established as well as upcoming scholars and professionals from
across the globe lends the volume a distinctive and critical edge.
Notwithstanding the broad scope of The International Handbook of
Gender and Poverty, one theme in common to most of its 100-plus
chapters is the need to 'en-gender' analysis and initiatives to
combat poverty and inequality at local, national and international
levels. As such, the volume will inspire its readers not only to
reflect deeply on poverty and gender injustice, but also to
consider what to do about it. This book will be essential reading
for all with academic, professional or personal interests in
gender, poverty, inequality, development, and social, political and
economic change in the contemporary world.
