Analyzing almost two thousand such case files and traveling from Boston, Minneapolis, and Portland to London and Melbourne, \u003ci\u003eMiss Cutler and the Case of the Resurrected Horse\u003c\/i\u003e is a pioneering comparative study that examines how these stories of poverty were narrated and reshaped by ethnic diversity, economic crisis, and war.\u003c\/p\u003eProbing the similarities and differences in the ways Americans, Australians, and Britons understood and responded to poverty, Mark Peel draws a picture of social work that is based in the sometimes fraught encounters between the poor and their interpreters. He uses dramatization to bring these encounters to life--joining Miss Cutler and that resurrected horse are Miss Lindstrom and the fried potatoes and Mr. O'Neil and the seductive client--and to give these people a voice. Adding new dimensions to the study of charity and social work, this book is essential to understanding and tackling poverty in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Peel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226653633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226653631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012","brand":"Mark Peel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086421438719,"sku":"9780226653631","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f7b9cce-1f55-42f9-9d74-6dab5cd300c4.jpg?v=1769094578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/miss-cutler-and-the-case-mark-peel-9780226653631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
