Reviews
'A much needed feminist critical review of Bolsa Familia that might enlighten Conditional Cash Transfers Program's analysis and improve them to better impact on women's lives and gender equality.' Corina Rodriguez Enriquez, FLACSO Argentina 'This book makes an essential contribution to studies of gender (and race) within conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes. It offers a detailed examination of the best-known CCT, Brazil's Bolsa Familia, showing how it has been both essential and insufficient for the amelioration of extreme poverty, and how it has built upon, and shifted, gender roles in the country. This is an essential resource to scholars and students working in this field.' Alfredo Saad-Filho, King's College London
