Formally referred to as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), these institutions are purposefully informal to support the women?s livelihoods and social needs and act to reject tiered forms of neoliberal development. The Banker Ladies--a term coined by women in the Black diaspora--are individuals that voluntarily organize ROSCAs for self-sufficiency and are intentional in their politicized economic cooperation to counter business exclusion. Caroline Shenaz Hossein reveals how Black women redefine the banking cooperative sector to be inclusive of informal institutions that are democratic and focused on group consensus, and which build an activist form of economic cooperation that is intent on making social profitability the norm. The book examines the ways in which diasporic Black women who organize mutual aid receive little to no attention. Unapologetically biased towards a group of women who have been purposely sidelined and put down for what they do, The Banker Ladies highlights how, in order to educate oneself about their contributions to politics and economics, it is imperative to listen to the voices of hundreds of Black women in charge of financial services for their communities."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aFemmes noires$xConditions economiques 606 $aTontines (Associations d'epargne)$xAspect politique 606 $aTontines (Associations d'epargne)$xAspect social 606 $aWomen, Black$xEconomic conditions 606 $aRotating credit associations$xPolitical aspects 606 $aRotating credit associations$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 6$aFemmes noires$xConditions economiques. 615 6$aTontines (Associations d'epargne)$xAspect politique. 615 6$aTontines (Associations d'epargne)$xAspect social. 615 0$aWomen, Black$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aRotating credit associations$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aRotating credit associations$xSocial aspects. 676 $a334/.2 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aHossein$b Caroline Shenaz$f1971-$01852669 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034871603321 996 $aThe banker ladies$94448529 997 $aUNINA
