From Transmitted Deprivation to Social Exclusion: Policy, Poverty, and Parenting de John Welshman

From Transmitted Deprivation to Social Exclusion: Policy, Poverty, and Parenting

Autor John Welshman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iun 2012
Filling a major gap in social policy literature, this book looks at the history of debates over the poverty cycle and their relationship with current initiatives on social exclusion. The book uses Sir Keith Joseph’s famous “cycle of deprivation” speech in 1972 as a backdrop to explore British New Labour’s approach to child poverty: initiatives such as Sure Start, the influence of research on intergenerational continuities, and its new stance on social exclusion. Making extensive use of archival sources, private papers, contemporary published documents, and oral interviews with retired civil servants and social scientists, John Welshman provides the only booklength treatment of this important but neglected strand of social policy history.

Recenzii

“Welshman’s book is a fascinating account of a hitherto largely neglected topic, and the author is to be commended for the breadth of his investigation and the relevance of the lessons he draws from it from today.”

"John Welshman's book is a thorough and fascinating study of the history of poverty and policy from the mid-twentieth century to the early twenty-first [and] contains a wealth of empirical detail. . . . This book is enormously valuable to a range of potential readers."

"John Welshman's focus is on the origins of Keith Joseph’s analysis in the 1970s, the direction of the government-funded research program that followed it and on the connections between ideas in the 1970s and New Labour’s approach to tackling poverty, social exclusion and anti-social behavior. He takes the perspective of a social historian, relying primarily on published documents, extensive archival research and interviews. He provides an in-depth case study of the political process from a variety of perspectives."


"This is an absorbing book. Using archive material well, it throws light on the relationship between social research, its funding, and its use by politicians. It also shows the continuity of ideas in social policy—though new terms like social exclusion may come into vogue, the thread of ideas over time remains."
