People in poverty suffer daily under misconceptions about economic
hardship and its causes. Providing the most comprehensive
consideration to date of poverty in the United States, Elizabeth
Seale tackles how we think about issues of culture, behavior, and
poverty, cutting straight to the heart of debates about social
class. The book addresses tough questions, including how being poor
affects individual behavior, and how we can make sense of that in a
larger social and political context. The central premise is that to
understand the behavior and lives of people in poverty, one must
consider their relational context, especially relations of
vulnerability and the human need for dignity. Poverty is a social
problem we should address as a society by changing social relations
that, as a matter of course, cause unnecessary and immense
suffering. To do so, we must directly confront our lack of regard
for people in poverty by recognizing that they are in fact worthy
of an effort to induce major social change. This critical
introduction to poverty will be an important read for undergraduate
students and above in sociology wanting to learn more about the
growing social problems of poverty, inequality, and stratification.
