Poor No More: Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty
ISBN: 9781412864459 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1960s, America set out to end poverty. Policy-makers put forth an unprecedented package of legislation, funding poverty programs and empowering the poor through ineffectual employment-related education and training. However, these handouts produced little change, and efforts to provide education and job-training proved inconsequential, boasting only a 2.8 percent decrease in the poverty rate since 1965. Decades after the War on Poverty began, many of its programs failed. Only one thing really worked to help end poverty-and that was work itself, the centerpiece of welfare reform in...

Policing Urban Poverty
ISBN: 9781349411436 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Policing Urban Poverty demonstrates that, since the nineteenth century, a core task of the police has been crime control and order maintenance, especially in poor communities. This illuminating book focuses on the policy implications of discourses on poverty and crime in America and Britain. It draws on sociological theory and extensive empirical evidence, which show that in recent history senior police policy-makers have been involved in a struggle with their political masters in determining the most judicious means to tackle urban poverty and crime.

Always with Us?: What Jesus Really Said about the Poor
ISBN: 9780802875020 / Angielski / Miękka / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A strong theological call for ending the abomination of systemic poverty
Jesus's words "the poor you will always have with you" (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible, that poverty is a result of moral failures, and that the poor themselves have no role in changing their situation. In this book Liz Theoharis examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how that passage is taken out of context, distorted, and politicized to justify theories about the inevitability of inequality. Theoharis... A strong theological call for ending the abomination of systemic poverty

The Problem of the Poor in Tudor and Early Stuart England
ISBN: 9781138157934 / Angielski / Twarda / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This pamphlet examines recent research into the poor laws of Tudor and Stuart England. Dr Beier asks the question 'who were the poor?' and in answering it places the 'problem of the poor' in its historical context, examining it in relation to medieval provisions for dealing with poverty. He shows how far legislation was influenced by economic changes, by ideas about poverty and by the interests of the legislators themselves. Dr Beier evaluates the varying interpretations of the poor laws, from those who have seen them as an early 'welfare state' to those who have considered them to be the...

ISBN: 9783837636086 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This ethnography is based on almost five years of fieldwork in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, between 2001 and 2015. Stodulka investigates "street children's" coming of age, and their remarkable social and emotional competences, instead of resorting to a dreadful discourse of pity and despair. His ethnography's multivocal narrative couples vivid accounts of ethnographic case studies and life stories with current theory on affect, emotion, empathy, structural violence, and social interaction in the context of marginality, stigma and chronic illness.

The Pauper's Freedom: Crime and Poverty in Nineteenth-Century Quebec Volume 32
ISBN: 9780773549470 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the recognition that individual and collective freedom lay at the foundation of the social order held out the hope for a more or less definitive solution to the problems of poverty and crime. But, in Quebec as elsewhere, the aspirations associated with the transition to democracy and "liberalism" rapidly gave way to a bourgeois ideology where the poor were held personally responsible for their sad plight - since they were free, their poverty was allegedly their own fault. Jean-Marie Fecteau analyzes this complex history and the ways in which it was...
