The Old Poor Law in England and Wales, administered by the local parish, dispensed benefits to paupers providing a uniquely comprehensive, pre-modern system of relief. Remaining in force until 1834, the law provided goods and services to keep the poor alive.Combining short- and long-form articles and essays, Providing for the Poor brings together academics and practitioners from across disciplines to re-examine the micro-politics of poverty in the long eighteenth century through the eyes of the poor, their providers and enablers. From the providence of the parochial sixpence given in order to move a beggar on, to coercive marriages, plebeian clothing and the much broader implications of vagrancy towards the end of the long eighteenth century, this volume aims to bridge the gaps in our understanding of the experiences of people across the social spectrum whose lives were touched by the Old Poor Law. It brings together some of the wider arguments concerning the nature of welfare during economically testing times, and navigates the rising bureaucracy inherent in the system, to produce a radical new history of the Old Poor Law in astonishing detail.

Les éboueurs du Caire (les Zabbalin) se sont installés sur les pentes du Muqattam en 1970. Très vite, ils ont attiré l'attention de nombreux acteurs actifs dans le développement ou la mission religieuse : des ingénieurs égyptiens, une sœur catholique Française, et le personnage central de cette histoire, le père Samʿān, qui se lança dans une mission auprès des Zabbalin en 1974. Ce prêcheur fonda plusieurs églises connues aujourd'hui sous le nom du monastère de Saint-Samʿan-le-Tanneur, un complexe de sept sanctuaires taillés dans les falaises du Muqattam. A travers son style charismatique et ses exorcismes publics mettant en scène une lutte symbolique entre Islam et Christianisme, Samʿān est devenu l'une des figures de proue de son Eglise. The Cairene garbage collectors (the Zabbalin) settled on the Muqattam slopes in 1970. Soon they attracted the attention of different actors involved in development and religious mission: Egyptian engineers, a French Catholic Sister and the most central character of this story, Father Samʿān, who started a mission among the Zabbalin in 1974. This preacher founded several churches, today known as the Monastery of Saint Samʿān the Tanner, a complex of seven churches carved in the Muqattam walls. Through his charismatic style of preaching and his public exorcisms symbolically staging the struggle between Christianity and Islam, Samʿān has become a figurehead of his church.

This landmark book charts the rollercoaster history of both rich and poor, and the mechanisms that link them. Stewart Lansley examines the ideological rifts that have driven society back to the divisions of the past and asks why rich and poor citizens are still judged by very different standards.

TEN DERDEN MALE is een dringende oproep om rekening te houden met mensen die in armoede leven. Armoede is niet alleen een kwestie van te weinig centen, maar ook van een gebrek aan kansen en mogelijkheden. Het blijft een schande dat te veel politiek verantwoordelijken blind blijven voor de ellende van een alsmaar groter wordende groep van medeburgers in een samenleving die voldoende middelen heeft om iedereen een menselijk leven te laten leiden. Een kleine groep vermogenden haalt onbelemmerd binnen wat wie uit de boot valt tekortkomt.Ten derden male geeft feiten en cijfers over het armoedeprobleem, naast persoonlijke verhalen en anekdotes. Voorstellen om het armoedeprobleem daadwerkelijk aan te pakken ontbreken uiteraard niet.De auteurs van TEN DERDEN MALE schreven eerder de armoedeaanklachten De schande en de keerzijde (2014) en Uit woede en onbegrip (2019). Het is jammer dat zij ten derden male de pen ter hand moeten nemen.(https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/ten-derden-male-9789464341249)

"In a world built on the political, economic and social contract, the poor seem to break the rules of give and take. As a result, there is a growing tendency to exclude them. The problem is not one of xenophobia, since the enthusiastic reception of foreign tourists contrasts with the rejection of refugees and immigrants. We're talking about aporophobia, rejection of the poor. The poor person is a nuisance, even within one's own family. Aporophobia is a daily attack on the dignity and well-being of people and democracy. It also has a universal reach: all human beings are aporophobes, and this has its cerebral and social roots that can and should be modified if we are to take seriously the key ethical issues of a democratic society that aims to be fair. In this book Adela Cortina exposes one of the most deep-rooted and overlooked moral conflicts of our time, not only to give it a name but also to force us to recognise it and to provide us with the tools to face a reality very much our own"--
