Territories of Poverty challenges the conventional North-South
geographies through which poverty scholarship is organized. Staging
theoretical interventions that traverse social histories of the
American welfare state and critical ethnographies of international
development regimes, these essays confront how povertyis
constituted as a problem. In the process, the book analyzes
bureaucracies of poverty, poor people's movements, and global
networks of poverty expertise, as well as more intimate modes of
poverty action such as volunteerism. From post-Katrina New Orleans
to Korean church missions in Africa, this book is fundamentally
concerned with how poverty is territorialized. In contrast to
studies concerned with locations of poverty, Territories of Poverty
engages with spatial technologies of power, be they community
development and counterinsurgency during the American 1960s or the
unceasing anticipation of war in Beirut. Within this territorial
matrix, contributors uncover dissent, rupture, and mobilization.
This book helps us understand the regulation of poverty-whether by
globally circulating models of fast policy or vast webs of mobile
money or philanthrocapitalist foundations-as multiple terrains of
struggle for justice and social transformation.
