Produktinformationen zu „Urban Poverty and the Underclass / Studies in Urban and Social Change (PDF)“
Over the last two decades "poverty" has moved centrestage as an
issue within the social sciences. This volume, edited by one of
Europe's foremost sociologists, aims to assess the debates
surrounding poverty and the responses to it, exploring the ways in
which the various socio-political systems and welfarist regimes are
being radically transformed. The essays examine how such change is
effected by failing welfare programmes and enervating social
structures such as family and community which once would have
provided mechanisms of social stability.
The first part of the book provides reflections on urban
poverty; the second part discusses the widely debated idea of an
"underclass" and its meanings in Europe and in the USA, and the
final part draws on concrete empirical analyses to examine the
patterns of poverty thoughout Western Europe.
This volume will be of first-rate importance to all serious
students of politics, sociology, geography, public policy, youth
and community studies, social policy and American studies.
