Book Description
How can women entrepreneurs in post-ISIS Kurdistan overcome traditional gender regimes that limit their success?
In Poor Dad, Rich Daughter, Kaziwa Salih examines the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Basûr, Iraq. The book focuses on two groups: those supported by NGOs and self-funded microentrepreneurs. Salih highlights the gender-related obstacles these women face, the ethical agency they display, and the impact of traditional family roles on their entrepreneurial journeys. Despite NGO support, the lack of essential technology and marketing knowledge has led to the failure of some businesses. The book delves into the complex dynamics of gender regimes and performative religiosity, as experienced firsthand by Kurdish women who resist these systemic challenges.
This book is ideal for scholars and students in Middle Eastern studies, gender studies, and entrepreneurship, as well as practitioners and advocates interested in the intersection of gender, culture, and economic development in post-conflict regions.
