"In the United States, the causes and even the meanings of poverty are disconnected
from the causes and meanings of global poverty. The Routledge Handbook of Poverty
and the United States provides an authoritative overview of the relationship of poverty
with the rise of neoliberal capitalism in the context of globalization. Reorienting
its national economy towards a global logic, US domestic policies have promoted a
market-based strategy of economic development and growth as the obvious solution to
alleviating poverty, affecting approaches to the problem discursively, politically,
economically, culturally and experientially. However, the Handbook explores how rather
than alleviating poverty, it has instead exacerbated poverty and preexisting inequalities
- privatizing the services of social welfare and educational institutions, transforming
the state from a benevolent to a punitive state, and criminalizing poor women, racial,
ethnic and sexual minorities, and immigrants. Key issues examined by the international
selection of leading scholars in this volume include: income distribution, employment,
health, hunger, housing and urbanization. With parts focusing on the lived experience
of the poor, social justice and human rights frameworks - as opposed to welfare rights
models, and the role of helping professions such as social work, health and education,
this comprehensive Handbook is a vital reference for anyone working with those in
poverty, whether directly or at a macro level"
