It has been almost two decades since conditional cash transfer
programs first appeared on the agendas of multilateral agencies and
politicians. Latin America has often been used as a testing ground
for these programs, which consist of transfers of money to
subsections of the population upon meeting certain conditions, such
as sending their children to school or having them vaccinated.
Money from the Government in Latin America takes a comparative view
of the effects of this regular transfer of money, which comes with
obligations, on rural communities. Drawing on a variety of data,
taken from different disciplinary perspectives, these chapters help
to build an understanding of the place of conditional cash transfer
programsin rural families and households, in individuals'
aspirations and visions, in communities' relationships to urban
areas, and in the overall character of these rural societies. With
case studies from Chile, Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia, this
book will interest scholars and researchers of Latin American
anthropology, sociology, development, economics and politics.
