Lucí Cavallero and Verónica Gago, authors of the groundbreaking book "Debt: A Feminist Understanding," have boldly ventured into the realm of feminist economics, unveiling the profound impact of debt on women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Through their insightful analysis, they shed light on the intricate relationship between debt and social reproduction, challenging prevailing narratives and revealing the underlying connections between financial activity and the rise of conservative forces in Latin America.
This thought-provoking work demonstrates that debt is not just a financial burden but a catalyst for gendered violence and patriarchal notions of the family. However, the authors refuse to succumb to despair, offering a compelling vision of resistance against these forces. Drawing on a wealth of concrete experiences and practices from Latin America and beyond, they showcase how debt can be resisted and transformed into a tool for empowerment.
The book features captivating interviews with women in Argentina and Brazil, providing a firsthand account of the real-life impact of debt. It reveals how it disproportionately falls on the shoulders of women, from the household to the broader consequences of national debt and austerity measures. Through a series of discussions encompassing experiences of work, prisons, domestic labor, agriculture, family, abortion, and housing, a narrative of resilience and resistance emerges.
Lucí Cavallero and Verónica Gago's "Debt: A Feminist Understanding" is a groundbreaking contribution to feminist economics, offering a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted effects of debt on individuals and societies. By transcending traditional boundaries and embracing a feminist lens, they have paved the way for a more equitable and just world. This award-winning book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of debt and its impact on our lives.
