On the Margins of Inclusion starts from the premise that understanding the nature of contemporary work and exclusion from employment is central to understanding the experience of social exclusion in our society today. Through close ethnographic study of people living on a South London housing estate, the book highlights collective strategies and responses to labor market and welfare changes, and considers how these responses can, in themselves, contribute to patterns of community-based exclusion. The book provides a compelling and vivid portrait of lives at the insecure, low-paid end of the labor market, and offers a fascinating account of how different groups of economically marginal people have adapted to, and negotiate, the offerings of a post-industrial labor market and a welfare system geared towards reintegrating them into formal employment.
