Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Poverty and WellBeing
Book SynopsisWritten by a multi-disciplinary team of contributors, this collection explores the different dimensions of well being, poverty and inequality. A personâs sense of well being is compounded of many elements including economic, political and social psychology. Poverty and inequality are aspects of a lack of well being in multiple dimensions and, this texts argues, development should be considered a process that overcomes these multiple deficienciesThis book examines the advantages of analysing poverty and development by multi-discipline research. Economists, political sociologists and anthropologists put forward an idea of well being from their own perspective, using their own research material, while the editors argue in their introduction that bringing to bear of many disciplines can enrich the research output of all. Table of Contents1. The Case for Cross-disciplinary Social Science Research on Poverty, Inequality and Well-being 2.

Book SynopsisUncovers the hidden history of Syrian migrant workers in Lebanon, from independence to the present, to break new ground in Middle East Studies and challenge existing ways of thinking about migration.Trade Review"This books makes an important contribution to the analysis of Syro-Lebanese relations and is of special interest to students of labor migration, particularly those concerned with issues of 'south-south' patterns of migration and temporary migration with returning cycles." -- Thomas Philip * American Historical Review *"John Chalcraft provides a convincing and multifaceted analysis of this important and ongoing chapter of Mediterranean economic and social history." -- Jörg Michael Dostal * The Times Higher Education *"Full of rich analysis, this book succeeds in opening up a Middle Eastern case study to the field of transnational migration and convincingly shows how a labor market can interact with political structures to confine migrant workers within an invisible cage. An ideal angle from which to understand the complexity of Lebanese-Syrian relations." -- Elizabeth Picard, Institute for Research and Study on the Arab and Muslim World * France *"The Invisible Cage lucidly deconstructs simple arguments about migration, showing how hegemony operates in a menial labor regime heavily dependent on migrant labor. This book is strong and to the point, and it covers material no other work does." -- Ussama Makdisi * Rice University *Table of ContentsContents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Map of Syria and Lebanon Introduction 1 By God, My Brother, Come Back to Us 2 We Were Like Ghosts, Unseen 3 In the Name of the Martyrs 4 Pax Syriana 5 Instability and Exile Conclusion Endnotes Bibliography Index
