  • from the Culture of Poverty to inclusive cities re framing urban policy and politics
    Journal of International Development, 2000
    Co-Authors: Jo Beall
    Abstract:

    During the early development decades the urban poor were seen as an aberration or an underclass, victims of their own apathy and modest expectations (Lewis, 1961). Today they are more likely to be seen as heroic (De Soto, 1989) or as crucial contributors to inclusive cities (UNCHS (Habitat), 1999). By looking first at urbanization trends and the rise in urban Poverty, this article reviews how urban social disadvantage has been variously understood, tracing shifts in analytical emphasis and policy consequences over the last half century. It explores the implications for urban policy and politics of the increasing focus on social exclusion and inclusion, in particular whether a social exclusion perspective affords a better opportunity for addressing issues of inequalities manifest at the level of the city.

  • From the Culture of Poverty to the Culture of Single Motherhood
    Women & Politics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Susan L. Thomas
    Abstract:

    Women in the United States have long suffered high rates of Poverty,yet it was only in the late 1970s that the "feminization of Poverty" was recognized. Instead of using the emerging gender-based theoretical framework to explain women's impoverishment, however, a core of mainstream researchers relied on a familiar male-centered "Culture of Poverty" analysis. Rather than simply grafting women onto the extant paradigm, these scholars instead replaced male with female pathologies as central to their Poverty analysis. The resulting revised paradigm, which I call the Culture of single motherhood, marks a turning point in Poverty scholarship in the U.S. To the belief that men were the primary victims and perpetrators of impoverishment has been added the idea that women themselves could be the cause of their own, even men's, Poverty. The central thesis of this paper is that even in themost recent theorizing about Poverty and its allevation we are again faced with the Culture of Poverty controversy albeit updated...
