In 'Social Poverty', Sarah Halpern-Meekin provides a much-needed window into the nature of social ties among low-income, unmarried parents, highlighting their often-ignored forms of hardship. Drawing on in-depth interviews with thirty-one couples, collected during their participation in a government-sponsored relationship education program called 'Family Expectations', she brings unprecedented attention to the relational and emotional dimensions of socioeconomic disadvantage. Poverty scholars typically focus on the economic use value of social ties-for example, how relationships enable access to job leads, informal loans, or a spare bedroom. However, Halpern-Meekin introduces the important new concept of "social poverty," identifying it not just as a derivative of economic poverty, but as its own condition, which also perpetuates poverty. Through a careful and nuanced analysis of the strengths and limitations of relationship classes, she shines a light on the fundamental place of core socioemotional needs in our lives. Engaging and compassionate, 'Social Poverty' highlights a new direction for policy and poverty research that can enrich our understanding of disadvantaged families around the country. 650 0 $a Poor $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Low-income parents $z United States. 650 0 $a Poor families $z United States. 650 0 $a People with social disabilities $z United States. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States. 650 0 $a Social capital (Sociology) $z United States. 650 7 $a Low-income parents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430674 650 7 $a People with social disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057439 650 7 $a Poor families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071206 650 7 $a Poor $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071151 650 7 $a Social capital (Sociology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122281 650 7 $a Social classes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122346 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010231.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105023509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA15084A9C8E11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
