Economic Restructuring and Social Exclusion - Hardback

Economic Restructuring and Social Exclusionprovides a timely reminder of persisting inequalities of class, race and gender as a consequence of the changes which have engulfed Europe in less than a decade. The contributors consider key debates including democracy, social justice and citizenship. The book also examines evidence that social and economic polarization is increasing, and the prospect of a conspicuous and growing "underclass" in Europe’s urban centres is fast becoming a reality. This volume will be particularly valuable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in sociology.
