Child Poverty in Wales: Exploring the Challenges for Schooling Future Generations
Editat de Lori Becketten Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2023
This book explores child poverty in Wales, specifically in a local school community that identified its causes and effects. It examines the challenges that child poverty poses for schooling future generations, as well as a series of local solutions that personify Wales’s social democratic social imaginary. These responses all significantly contrast those of conservative UK Westminster governments’ policies espousing neoliberal logic for a global economy.

Recenzii
"The relentless pursuit of neoliberal policies by the UK government will only be halted through concerted action by social movements to reassert the values that inspired the creation of the welfare state. This book offers inspiring examples of what can be achieved, in Wales and beyond, through a renewed commitment to solidarity."
"The contributors to this excellent volume show how social research needs to be placed within its historical context, across space, and incorporate values that are not neutral but struggled over. The authors move smoothly between qualitative and quantitative research, giving a detailed description of how childhood poverty is produced and reproduced."
