At the same time the gap between the rich and poor has never been wider. The New Poverty Studies critically examines the new war against the poor that has accompanied the rise of the New Economy in the past two decades, and details the myriad ways poor people have struggled against it.\u003cbr\u003e The essays collected here explore how global, national, and local structures of power produce poverty and affect the material well-being, social relations and politicization of the poor. In updating the 1960s encounter between ethnography and U.S. poverty, The New Poverty Studies highlights the ways poverty is constructed across multiple scales and multiple axes of difference.\u003cbr\u003e Questioning the common wisdom that poverty persists because of the pathology, social isolation and welfare state \"dependency\" of the poor, the contributors to The New Poverty Studies point instead to economic restructuring and neoliberal policy \"reforms\" which have caused increased social inequality and economic polarization in the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e Contributors include: Georges Fouron, Donna Goldstein, Judith Goode, Susan B.
