However, political scandals, mission-drift, and excessive commercialization have tarnished this example of responsible development. Politicized Microfinance insightfully discusses these negative developments 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 microfinance in Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica and Trinidad. Writing from a feminist perspective and via individual interviews, focus groups, historical analysis, ethnographic methods and participant observation, Hossein offers multiple solutions that prioritize the needs of marginalized and historically oppressed people of African descent. A must read for scholars of political economy, diasporas studies, women's studies, as well as development practitioners, Hossein deftly argues for microfinance to return to its origins as a political tool, fighting for those living in the margins."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aMicrofinance$xPolitical aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aMicrofinance$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aMicrofinance$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 606 $aBlack people$zCaribbean Area$xEconomic conditions 606 $aBlack people$zCaribbean Area$xSocial conditions 607 $aCaribbean Area$xEconomic conditions 607 $aCaribbean Area$xSocial conditions 607 $aCarai?bes (Re?gion)$xConditions e?conomiques 607 $aCarai?bes (Re?gion)$xConditions sociales 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMicrofinance$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMicrofinance$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMicrofinance$xHistory. 615 0$aBlack people$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aBlack people$xSocial conditions. 676 $a332 700 $aHossein$b Caroline Shenaz$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01731820 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838255303321 996 $aPoliticized Microfinance$94144941 997 $aUNINA
