The sociology of unemployment is an analysis of the experience and
governance of unemployment. By considering unemployment as more
than just the absence of work; the book explores unemployment as a
distinctive experience created by the welfare state. Each chapter
explores an aspect of the experience or governance of unemployment;
beginning with how people talk about their experience of being
unemployed individually and collectively, to the places of
unemployment, and on to the processes, policies and forms of the
social welfare system. Clear explanations of classic theories are
explored and extended, all against the backdrop of new primary
research. Chapter by chapter, The sociology of unemployment
challenges the 'deprivation theory of unemployment' which dominates
sociology, psychology and social policy, by focusing on how
governmental power forms the experience of unemployment. As a
result, the book is both an introductory text on the sociology of
unemployment and a fresh, critical perspective. -- .
