Abstract

A rich analysis of the complex dynamic between food collection and food production in the farming societies of precolonial south central Africa Engaging new linguistic evidence and reinterpreting published archaeological evidence, this sweeping study explores the place of bushcraft and agriculture in the precolonial history of south central Africa across nearly three millennia. Contrary to popular conceptions that place farming at the heart of political and social change, political innovation in precolonial African farming societies was actually contingent on developments in hunting, fishing, and foraging, as de Luna reveals.

Abstract

Why does poverty persist? A critical, but so far ignored, part of the answer lies in the fact that poverty is regularly created. Large numbers of people are escaping poverty, but large numbers are concurrently falling into chronic poverty. This book presents the first large-scale examination of the reasons why people fall into poverty and how they escape it in diverse contexts. Drawing upon personal interviews with 35,000 households in different parts of India, Kenya, Uganda, Peru, and the United States, it takes you on an illustrative journey, filled with facts, analyses, and the life stories

Abstract

Die Untersuchung widmet sich der Frage, wie sich die Biografien von Menschen gestalten, deren Familien über Generationen hinweg in Armut verbleiben. Dazu gibt sie detaillierte Einblicke in das Leben von Familien im ALG II-Bezug und spürt rekonstruktiv den individuellen Zusammenhängen der sozialen Reproduktion von Armut nach. Es zeigt sich, dass die Art und Weise wie die interviewten Familien mit Armut umgehen von einer Vielzahl miteinander verwobener biografischer Strukturaspekt abhängig ist. Die gewonnen Erkenntnisse dienen als Ausgangspunkt für eine vergleichende Darstellung von Fünf Dimensionen der Armut in Familien, für einige theoretische  Schlussfolgerungen und für einen Ausblick auf die zukünftigen Potenziale einer biografisch orientierten Armutsforschung. Soziale Arbeit 2/2017 [...] sie [gibt] detaillierte Einblicke in das Leben von Familien im ALG II Bezug und spürt rekonstruktiv den individuellen Zusammenhängen der sozialen Reproduktion von Armut nach. konturen.de, 19.01.2017

Abstract

This 2003 book is a fascinating and moving portrait of the people who are suffering in a more divided and less egalitarian Australian society. Based on the author's conversations with hundreds of people living in three areas commonly described as 'disadvantaged' - Inala in Queensland, Mount Druitt in New South Wales and Broadmeadows in Victoria - this is a book in which impoverished Australians, who are often absent from debates about poverty, tell their own stories. Some are funny, others are sad. There are stories about loss, despair and an uncertain future they can hardly bear to tell. But there are also stories about hope, and the capacity of poorer people to imagine and create a fairer world. Rather than focusing on abstractions such as the underclass, this book provides an intimate account of real people's fears, hopes and dilemmas in the face of growing inequality, entrenched unemployment, and fading opportunities for the young.

Abstract

Saunders argues that as a nation Australia can afford to eliminate financial poverty. The fact that we don't do so is a matter of choice, not affordability - as the experience of other countries demonstrates. In challenging this idea, this book focuses on how looking at poverty differently can help to make a world without poverty a practical reality.
