Description
This powerful and moving book brings together a wealth of modern scholarship to survey a fully systematic fashion, the interaction between the strategies of the poor and the strategies of the state in twentieth-century Britain. The extent to which the fate of the poor as social citizens has been intimately connected with their fate as political citizens is one of the central themes of the book.
Reviews / Votes
'All those who teach about poverty xxx; have at some time or another bewailed the lack of a good historical study of poverty in the twentieth century. David Vincent has now filled this gap with this splendid volume. It will become essential reading for teachers and students and anyone interested in the history or politics of the present century'.SociologyMore details
