The Anthropology of Welfare provides an overview of what
anthropology has to offer welfare studies and vice-versa. Case
studies from anthropologists in the field, examine different
branches of welfare and community care, for example: * Maternity
services * Children with learning difficulties * Children's homes *
Mothers' centres * People with HIV * Mental health centres *
Housing * Care and provision for the elderly. Contributors focus on
comparative welfare systems - examples are taken from urban and
rural areas of the UK, USA, Sweden, Germany, Portugal, and New
Zealand. In each case the theoretical and methodological
appropriateness of social anthropology for the study of welfare,
and the insights gained by bringing anthropology and welfare
together are examined. The Anthropology of Welfare will be
essential reading for those studying anthropology, social work and
social policy and will be of interest to teachers, practitioners
and researchers in applied social welfare fields.
