Summary |
"This is the first textbook on citizenship written from a social policy perspective. Its aim is to provide students with a clear sense of the history of citizenship and also of the key theoretical debates that have informed contemporary understandings of the concept . It outlines competing perspectives and considers the influence that factors such as class, gender, ethnicity and disability have on social rights and citizenship." "The book is essential reading for undergraduates in social policy sociology, social work, politics and citizenship. It will also appeal to A/AS level students and their teachers, and those on access courses and foundation degrees who are studying welfare issues, citizenship and related topics. Undergraduate and postgraduate students who are studying Citizenship as part of their teacher training programmes will also find it relevant."--BOOK JACKET |
