About the Book

"On The Margins Of Inclusion" explores the notion of 'social exclusion' from the perspective of those deemed to be 'socially excluded' and provides a compelling and vivid portrait of lives at the insecure, low-paid end of the labour market. The ethnography is used to illuminate key issues in sociology and social policy and to tackle debates and controversies that are central to current discussions on the appropriate role and function of state welfare. A thorough discussion of current policies to address social exclusion and area regeneration is woven into the fieldwork analysis. "On The Margins Of Inclusion" is essential reading for researchers, academics and higher-level students in sociology and social policy, and will also be of interest to policy makers in the field. It features studies in poverty, inequality and social exclusion. The Series Editor: David Gordon, Director, Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research. Poverty, inequality and social exclusion remain the most fundamental problems that humanity faces in the 21st century. This exciting series, published in association with the Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research at the University of Bristol, aims to make cutting-edge poverty related research more widely available.

Review :
"This is a well-argued and at times, passionately written book that voices its dismay at the current state of Britain's post-industrial labour market and benefit system ... I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in issues surrounding marginality and exclusion in the post-industrial city." Urban Studies "David Smith ably weaves a narrative on how changing labour markets and social policies affect the lives of economically marginalised individuals. ... I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in issues surrounding marginality and exclusion in the post-industrial city." Urban Studies "Combining his personal experience and the evidence provided through the research, the author moves beyond dichotomous perspectives of structure or agency and recognizes the importance of interaction between structure and agency. ... Smith examines the process of evolution of concepts from poverty, to underclass and then social exclusion and explains those historical, institutional and political contexts which have influenced and shaped and reshaped the debates surrounding the causes of poverty and social exclusion. ... Being rich both in empirical evidence and analysis, the book is very useful for both academics and policy makers." Work, employment and society WINNER OF THE SPA BEST NEW PUBLICATION AWARD 2007
