Critical Social Policy: A Reader

by David Taylor (Editor)

This invaluable Reader represents a social relations of welfare perspective developed in the journal Critical Social Policy over the last fifteen years. The textbook highlights issues of gender, `race′, sexuality, disability and age as central to the analysis of welfare. These social relations are shown to underpin questions of need, empowerment and social citizenship. The book raises questions about universal and particular arguments for welfare and suggests ways in which welfare strategies may begin to overcome the traditional dichotomies between rights and needs.
