      abstract = {"Women are more central than ever before in visions of  global development. So then why has the development  industry failed to resolve gender gaps on a global scale?  In this book, limitations of development are explored  through research on micro-enterprise programs in South  Asia, celebrity funding of girls' schools in Africa and  Afghanistan, and population programs and conferences in  Egypt. Concerns are raised with the overly narrow  articulation of women's empowerment at the expense of  gender dynamics, privileging of communication as a  technological tool rather than as discourse or global  industry, and assertion of neoliberal development without  attention to political-economic global contexts. Critical  inquiry can contribute to advocacy by subverting  accountability to meet the demands of global social  justice"--},
