{"product_id":"rural-poverty-today-mark-shucksmith-9781447367123","title":"Rural Poverty Today: Experiences of Social Exclusion in Rural Britain","description":"Poverty is perceived as an urban problem, yet many in rural Britain also experience hardship. This book explores how and why people in rural areas experience and negotiate poverty and social exclusion. It examines the role of societal processes, individual circumstances, sources of support (markets; state; voluntary organisations; family and friends) and the role of place. It concludes that the UK's welfare system is poorly adapted to rural areas, with the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit and cutbacks exacerbating pressures. Voluntary organisations increasingly fill gaps in support left by the state. Invaluable to those in policy and practice, the book recommends a combination of person-based and place-based approaches to tackle rural poverty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Shucksmith, Jayne Glass, Polly Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144736712X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447367123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Mark Shucksmith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071462011135,"sku":"9781447367123","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_460304ca-5ae8-466d-b5c1-a71e8f6810ce.jpg?v=1685436235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rural-poverty-today-mark-shucksmith-9781447367123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
