Social Inclusion and Economic Development in Latin America (Inter-American Development Bank) - Softcover
Synopsis
Poverty and inequality in Latin America are easily recognizable in the faces of women, Afro-descendents, the indigenous, people with disabilities, victims of HIV/AIDS, and other groups outside the societal mainstream.
Social Inclusion and Economic Development in Latin America reviews the common features of these excluded populations, including their invisibility in official statistics and the stigma, discrimination, and disadvantages they have long endured. But it also examines the region's inclusionary policies and programs that can improve access by these groups to the quality social services and economic and political resources these groups need to level the playing field.
Case studies examine ethnic and racial political organization, gender quotas, and labor markets across the region, and social exclusion in Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Comparative studies summarize social inclusion policies of both the European Union and selected countries on the Continent.

Review
"Social inclusion has become a central theme of the development agenda of Latin America. This volume advances the understanding of social exclusion -- especially regarding race and ethnicity -- and shows new ways, based on empirical research and qualified theoretical approaches, to eliminate this major obstacle to development in the region." -- Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Former President of Brazil
