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.
David Smith's research interests include the evolution of the social exclusion concept, the social consequences of industrial and occupational change, welfare reform and comparative social policy. His research for On the margins of inclusion was conducted while at the Department of Social and Political Science, Royal Holloway College, University of London, UK.
