The social inclusion of marginalized groups, particularly
immigrants, is a major concern of Western governments. Much
on-the-ground work with marginalized groups is voluntary and
philanthropic, and therefore governed by charity law. Little has
been published to date which challenges charity law from a social
perspective and "Charity Law and Social Inclusion "is the first to
study its application in addressing social exclusion. Its
objectives are to: explain charity law's capacity to obstruct
modern charitable activity provide an international comparative
analysis of current charity law examine the concepts of
philanthropy, inclusion, alienation and justice consider the
competing claims of philanthropy, legal rights and politics as
appropriate methods of pursuing social justice showcase current
examples of philanthropic intervention, resulting in strategic and
sustainable community development projects make recommendations for
changes to the legal framework governing philanthropy. Illustrating
the importance of the needs of estranged minority culture groups,
the legal framework and philanthropic resources as well as the
extent to which this reasoning applies to such other socially
disadvantaged groups, this book will appeal to academics and
students in social policy, sociology and law as well as
professionals in community and voluntary work.
