[ED: Hardcover / gebunden], [PU: Routledge], Contributors in a wide range of social sciences place poverty in the US within the context of global capitalism and its institutions. They cover from the production of inequality to the production of destitution: the US political economy of poverty in the era of globalization discourses of poverty: from the "culture of poverty" to "surplus population" from the welfare state to the neoliberal state: from regulating to imprisoning the poor global poverty and the lived experience of poor communities in the US organizing to resist neoliberal policies and poverty: activism and advocacy: and reframing poverty in the era of globalization: alternatives to a neoliberal economic order. Annotation 2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) In the United States, the causes and even the meanings of poverty are disconnected from the causes and meanings of global poverty. The Routledge Handbook of Poverty in the United States provides an authoritative overview of the relationship of poverty with the rise of neoliberal capitalism in the context of globalization. Reorienting its national economy towards a global logic, US domestic policies have promoted a market-based strategy of economic development and growth as the obvious solution to alleviating poverty, affecting approaches to the problem discursively, politically, economically, culturally and experientially. However, the handbook explores how rather than alleviating poverty, it has instead exacerbated poverty and pre-existing inequalities privatizing the services of social welfare and educational institutions, transforming the state from a benevolent to a punitive state, and criminalizing poor women, racial and ethnic minorities, and immigrants. Key issues examined by the international selection of leading scholars in this volume include: income distribution, employment, health, hunger, housing and urbanization. With parts focusing on the lived experience of the poor, social justice and human rights frameworks as opposed to welfare rights models and the role of helping professions such as social work, health and education, this comprehensive handbook is a vital reference for anyone working with those in poverty, whether directly or at a macro level., DE, [SC: 0.00], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, Hardcover / gebunden, 601, [GW: 1270g], offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten), sofortueberweisung.de, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, PayPal, Lastschrift, Banküberweisung, International shipping<
