Opis

IMAGES (II) - Images of the Poor offers readers a cross-section of current research on the perception of poverty and on contemporary and historical representations of poverty coming from a variety of fields in people's daily lives. The fact that the international group of contributors to this book come from very different cultural, ideological, scientific/academic perspectives, and backgrounds is adding even more to the diversity of thought and ideas documented. The arguments presented help to raise the social awareness needed to break the vicious circle of poverty. (Series: Anthropology / Ethnologie - Vol. 52)
