(In) visibility of women in “new” brazilian social policies

Abstract

What's new in Brazilian social policies? How can the gender discussion contribute to thinking about these new policies? Commodification of poverty, privatization and outsourcing of services in health and care? To what extent does the São Paulo experience contribute to thinking about the context of emergence and popularization of policies aimed at conditional cash transfer programs? When we read the title and summary of the book, these questions arise, which make us eagerly go through each page in search of new perspectives and discussions on the topic. And, in fact, the authors manage to discuss each of these points throughout this work, which is the result of extensive research of an ethnographic character on the periphery of the largest city in Latin America.
