"Neoliberalization" as Betrayal: State, Feminism, and a Women's Education Program in India

by Shubhra Sharma

Book Overview

Using initiatives by non-governmental organizations to promote women's empowerment in rural India, this book draws new conclusions about the three-way relationship between neoliberalism, women's education, and spatialization of the state. Sharma gets to the heart of the assumptions and blindspots inherent in these programs and makes an important contribution to the debate about the institutionalization of women's education.
