About This Book
Encountering Poverty challenges mainstream frameworks of global poverty by going beyond the claims that poverty is a problem that can be solved through economic resources or technological interventions. By focusing on the power and privilege that underpin persistent impoverishment and using tools of critical analysis and pedagogy, the authors explore the opportunities for and limits of poverty action in the current moment. Encountering Poverty invites students, educators, activists, and development professionals to think about and act against inequality by foregrounding, rather than sidestepping, the long history of development and the ethical dilemmas of poverty action today.

In
2007,
the
University
of
California,
Berkeley,
undertook
an
unusual
endeavor:
it
launched
a
new
undergraduate
minor
in
Global
Poverty
and
Practice.
Almost
immediately,
the
program
started
to
grow
rapidly,
draw-
ing
students
from
a
wide
range
of
majors
and
featuring
classes
with
enroll-
ments
big
enough
to
fill
the
campus’s
largest
classrooms.
The
expansive
scope
of
the
program
was
perhaps
most
evident
in
its
curriculum,
which
reached
beyond
the
traditional
social
sciences,
integrating
material
from
diverse
disciplines
such
as
engineering,
public
health,
and
business.
Despite
its
academic
success,
the
Global
Poverty
and
Practice
Minor
marked
a
departure
from
the
normal
format
of
the
university’s
undergrad-
uate
curriculum.
From
the
start,
it
aligned
itself
with
students
who
were
interested
in
troubling
the
divide
between
theory
and
practice,
refusing
to
relegate
the
work
they
did
in
organizations
and
communities
to
the
sec-
ond-class
status
of
extra-curricular
activity.
Instead,
the
program
was
inspired
by
the
energy
of
a
generation
of
students
passionate
about
pov-
erty
action
and
intent
on
transforming
an
unequal
world.
The
Global
Poverty
and
Practice
Minor
was
also
unusual
because,

it
