Editorial Reviews

In her newest book Black Women, Work, and Welfare in the Age of Globalization, Sherrow Pinder does a masterful job in showing how economic globalization and its accompanying neoliberal model of welfare as workfare has resulted in an ongoing “death-in-life” racialization of poverty among poor black women. Given the current context of rampant poverty in the Unites States, Pinder makes a persuasive and passionate argument for welfare as a fundamental social right. It is a must read for those interested in how global markets affect economic inequality and gendered racism in today’s societies.
