Family Poverty in Diverse Contexts addresses the context of poverty
in the United States and focuses on poverty issues that family
members must confront as they move through the life course. This
edited collection provides a unique perspective that draws together
macro and micro research about how poverty affects families
throughout their lives, increasing risks and reducing opportunities
at every stage. Individual chapters emphasize the context of
poverty in the United States, then go on to examine specific life
cycle stages and what happens when poverty intersects with family
concerns. Contributing authors are respected experts in their
fields and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives
including child development, community health, education, family
studies, gerontology, disability, public policy, social work and
sociology. Family Poverty in Diverse Contexts includes a range of
pedagogical features to enhance learning such as exercises and
discussions relating to each chapter, which will encourage readers
to think critically and apply the knowledge to their own lives. It
will interest students, academics and researchers of sociology,
family studies, social work and health as well as other related
disciplines.
