Reviews
"This is a truly global study of a global problem, written by a team from across the globe and based on original fieldwork. The focus on shame and shaming in policy processes breaks new ground." Professor Lutz Leisering, Bielefeld University, Germany
"By examining anti-poverty policies and programmes from the perspective of poor people themselves, this book makes a novel and important contribution which will undoubtedly influence policy makers for years to come. Its study of the psychological dimensions of poverty in different countries also contributes to an emerging one-world perspective that will inform social policy scholarship everywhere. It deserves to be widely read." Professor James Midgley, University of California, Berkeley, USA
"The book cautions policy makers and development practitioners that poverty eradication should also entail the eradication of the stigmas of poverty and calls for the recognition and protection of the humanity and dignity of poor people in anti-poverty policy implementation." Roland Lomme, Senior Governance Specialist, World Bank
