Essays in this collection explore the... Being homeless in one s homeland is a colonial legacy for many Indigenous people in settler societies. The construction of Commonwealth nation-states ...

The Global Child Poverty Challenge: In Search of Solutions
ISBN: 9781853399664 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Children are the most vulnerable people in the world - but rarely has the impact of poverty on children been addressed as an urgent issue in its own right. The harm that deprivation does to girls and boys as individuals, and the lasting cost of poverty, have received too limited attention. Policies and programs have not made best use of the growing evidence of -what works- for the poorest children to support the efforts of families and children themselves to forge more prosperous futures.
In a major effort to counter the invisibility of children in thinking on poverty reduction,... Children are the most vulnerable people in the world - but rarely has the impact of poverty on children been addressed as an urgent issue in its own r...

The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills
ISBN: 9780226428154 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We hear plenty about the widening income gap between the rich and the poor in America and about the expanding distance separating the haves and the have-nots. But when detailing the many things that the poor have not, we often overlook the most critical--their health. The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans. In nearly four decades as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago, David Ansell has witnessed firsthand the lives behind these devastating statistics. In The Death Gap, he gives a grim...

Responding to Global Poverty: Harm, Responsibility, and Agency
ISBN: 9781107031470 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the nature of moral responsibilities of affluent individuals in the developed world, addressing global poverty and arguments that philosophers have offered for having these responsibilities. The first type of argument grounds responsibilities in the ability to avert serious suffering by taking on some cost. The second argument seeks to ground responsibilities in the fact that the affluent are contributing to such poverty. The authors criticise many of the claims advanced by those who seek to ground stringent responsibilities to the poor by invoking these two types of...

Despite being a hotly debated topic, social mobility remains one of the most misunderstood processes of our time. In this accessible and engaging book, leading mobility analyst Geoff Payne draws on the latest sociological evidence to demonstrate how our politicians have failed to grasp the ways in which mobility works. The New Social Mobility argues that we must consider the wider dimensions of mobility and life chances notably the workings of the labor market to assess more accurately the causes and consequences of mobility as both social and political processes. Bringing together a...
