Every day, we are barraged by statistics, images, and emotional messages that present poverty as a problem to be quantified, managed, and solved. Global generations present the poor as a heterogeneous group and stress globalized solutions to the problem of poverty. Governing the Poor exposes the ways in which such generalized descriptions and quantifications marginalize the poor and their experiences.
Suzan Ilcan is a professor of sociology and Canada Research Chair at the University of Windsor. Anita Lacey is a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Auckland.
