Cover of Suzan Ilcan & Anita Lacey: Governing the Poor (PDF)

Global generations present the poor as a heterogeneous group and stress globalized solutions to the problem of poverty. Governing the Poor exposes the ways in which such generalized descriptions and quantifications marginalize the poor and their experiences.
