Encountering Poverty: Thinking and Acting in an Unequal World

Encountering Poverty: Thinking and Acting in an Unequal World (Poverty, Interrupted Book 2)

Encountering PovertyÂ challenges mainstream frameworks of global poverty by going beyond the claims that poverty is a problem that can be solved through economic resources or technological interventions. By focusing on the power and privilege that underpin persistent impoverishment and using tools of critical analysis and pedagogy, the authors explore the opportunities for and limits of poverty action in the current moment.Â Encountering PovertyÂ invites students, educators, activists, and development professionals to think about and act against inequality by foregrounding, rather than sidestepping, the long history of development and the ethical dilemmas of poverty action today.
