Princeton University Press Getting Tough
Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of CHOICE’s Outstanding Academic Titles for 2017""Honorable Mention for the 2018 Frederick Jackson Turner Award, Organization of American Historians""A vital reminder that reactionary ideas gestate at the local level before they get nationalized. And, with enough organizing, so too might emancipatory ones."---Dan Berger, Truthout"This extraordinary book analyzes changing state-level policies toward drugs, welfare, and incarceration in the 1970s in the US, revealing connections between welfare and imprisonment as institutions of social regulation. . . . Drawing on statements and letters from officials, activists, prisoners, welfare recipients, and concerned citizens, Kohler-Hausmann illuminates the often contradictory and always contingent dialogues through which 'tough' policies were legitimized and enacted. . . . The inclusion of so many voices leads to a lively and engaging read." * Choice *

Princeton University Press Patient Care under Uncertainty
Book SynopsisFor the past few years, the author, a renowned economist, has been applying the statistical tools of economics to decision making under uncertainty in the context of patient health status and response to treatment. He shows how statistical imprecision and identification problems affect empirical research in the patient-care sphere.Trade Review"Medicine has made spectacular advances, but its techniques for approving and selecting treatments remain locked in statistical and experimental design methods developed in the first decades of the twentieth century. In this book, Manski gives an accessible, practical explanation for why failures to confront the ambiguities of treatment decisions harm patients. He describes how modern statistical decision theory, including his own contributions, can save lives if incorporated into medical training and the decision making of clinicians, standard-setting bodies, and regulatory agencies. This is a must-read for those who take the Hippocratic Oath seriously."—Daniel McFadden, Nobel Laureate in Economics "Manski proposes clear, powerful strategies for improving patient care amid the many uncertainties typifying healthcare-delivery environments. Patient Care under Uncertainty offers valuable insights that wise clinicians—and others working in healthcare systems or on health policy design—would do well to consider and to implement in practice."—John Mullahy, University of Wisconsin–Madison “A thoughtful critique of medical decision making, Patient Care under Uncertainty furthers clinical care and evidence-based medicine. Manski examines identification practices, introduces partial identification to a clinical audience, and builds our econometric/statistical toolkit. Just as social scientists have adopted randomized clinical trials, it would be worthwhile for clinicians to adopt Manski’s rich approach to econometrics.”—Ahmad von Schlegell, MD"In this book, Manski highlights the tension between evidence generation in medicine and its credible use in healthcare decisions. Relying on decades of research, he presents various decision-theoretic principles for making better choices in the face of uncertainty. Accessible to a wide range of audiences, this book is a must-read for anyone grappling with the place of evidence in medical choices."—Anirban Basu, University of Washington

It can inspire people by reminding them of workplace ideals and the value of occupational expertise.Trade Review"This short book focuses largely on the application of professionalism to social work, but much of it equally applicable to nursing... [Cribb and Gewirtz] cover in-depth the theoretical dimensions of the topic - with an extensive bibliography of classic and recent publications - and provide examples drawn from practice, including health visiting and paediatric oncology nursing, to illustrate their arguments."Nursing Standard"Don’t let the fact this is a good read mislead you into thinking this book is lightweight. It isn’t. It deals with important arguments that concern us all - about the place of the professions in modern society and whether we can trust the professionalism of individuals when we need them. Accessible and beautifully written the best book on the topic since the ‘70s." Jocelyn Cornwell, founder and Chief Executive of The Point of Care Foundation "At a time when the public has grown skeptical of the practice and wisdom of professionals - from education, to law, to medicine - Alan Cribb and Sharon Gewirtz offer much-need perspicacity on professionalism in health and social care. They take up and deconstruct critical and complex topics with stunning clarity of thought and superbly accessible writing. This is a must read for all those who call themselves professionals and want to understand the nuanced challenges professionals face, not only in forming their own social identities but also in executing their work in competent, ethical, and humane ways that serve the public good."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Understanding the Life Course
Book SynopsisUnderstanding the Life Course provides a uniquely comprehensive guide to the entire life course from an interdisciplinary perspective. Combining important insights from sociology and psychology, the book presents the concept?s theoretical underpinnings in an accessible style, supported by real-life examples. From birth and becoming a parent, to death and grieving for the loss of others, Lorraine Green explores all stages of the life course through key research studies and theories, in conjunction with issues of social inequality and critical examination of lay viewpoints. She highlights the many ways the life course can be interpreted, including themes of linearity and multidirectionality, continuity and discontinuity, and the interplay between nature and nurture. The second edition updates key data and includes additional material on topics such as new technologies, changing markers of transitions to adulthood, active ageing, resilience and neuropsychology. Trade Review"It is excellent to have this second edition of Understanding the Life Course. It is thoroughly updated and Lorraine Green has continued to provide us with a text which is both ambitious and very readable. It will be invaluable to a range of students on both academic and professional courses who require an insightful and integrated sociological and psychological analysis of the life course." - Nigel Parton, University of Huddersfield "A thorough understanding of the life course requires a strong grasp of both macro- and micro-social influences on our lives, ranging from major historical events to our most intimate family relationships. This excellent book is the only one I know of to put its interdisciplinary approach front and centre, underscoring the ways that psychological theories of identity and development, and sociological research on inequalities, shape the diversity of human experiences in childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. An original, engaging and informative book that will be well received across a range of social science disciplines." - Deborah Carr, Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University "Lorraine Green has produced an outstanding second version of this successful and wide-ranging book. Retaining the sophistication and accessibility of the first edition, she has carefully updated material, including new nuanced analyses of the concept of resilience and neuro-developmental understandings." - Sue White, Professor of Social Work, University of BirminghamTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter 1: Key Life Course Principles and TheoriesChapter 2: Traditional and Modern Psychological Approaches to ChildrenChapter 3: The New Social Studies of ChildhoodChapter 4: Adolescence and YouthChapter 5: Young AdulthoodChapter 6: Middle AdulthoodChapter 7: Old AgeChapter 8: Death, Dying, Grief and LossConclusion

University of British Columbia Press From UI to EI
Book SynopsisEstablished in 1940 in response to the Great Depression, the original goal of Canada's system of unemployment insurance was to ensure the protection of income to the unemployed. Joblessness was viewed as a social problem and the jobless as its unfortunate victims. If governments could not create the right conditions for full employment, they were obligated to compensate people who could not find work. While unemployment insurance expanded over several decades to the benefit of the rights of the unemployed, the mid-1970s saw the first stirrings of a counterattack as the federal government's Keynesian strategy came under siege. Neo-liberalists denounced unemployment insurance and other aspects of the welfare state as inflationary and unproductive. Employment was increasingly thought to be a personal responsibility and the handling of the unemployed was to reflect a free-market approach. This regressive movement culminated in the 1990s counter-reforms, heralding a major policy shift. TTrade ReviewCampeau’s detailed account is concise, thorough and easy to follow. -- Alvin Finkel, Athabasca University * Labour/Le Travail, Issue 58, Fall 2005 *Campeau’s book is without question a useful survey of the history of employment insurance in Canada. For those interested in the legislation itself, Campeau offers a detailed and esoteric look at its adoption and development over the years. For those interested in the constitutional skirmish that has been fought through the years over employment insurance, Campeau also charts out how that battle has progressed over time ... In sum, anyone with an interest in labour law, and in particular the past, present and future of employment insurance in Canada, would likely find From UI to EI an interesting perspective and an informative read. -- Robert Neilson * Saskatchewan Law Review, vol. 69, 2006 *Table of ContentsIntroduction1 Why UI?2 The British Act of 19113 Developing a Canadian System 4) The UI Act of 19405 UI Expansion, 1940-756 Vision under Siege, 1975-887 Rights Enshrined in Case Law, 1940-908 The System Hijacked, 1989-969 Onward to EI10 Case Law in the Neoliberal Riptide of the 1990sConclusionEpilogue: Bill C-2, February 2001NotesIndex

Cornell University Press Socialist Insecurity
Book SynopsisOver the past two decades, China has rapidly increased its spending on its public pension programs, to the point that pension funding is one of the government''s largest expenditures. Despite this, only about fifty million citizensone-third of the country''s population above the age of sixtyreceive pensions. Combined with the growing and increasingly violent unrest over inequalities brought about by China''s reform model, the escalating costs of an aging society have brought the Chinese political leadership to a critical juncture in its economic and social policies.In Socialist Insecurity, Mark W. Frazier explores pension policy in the People''s Republic of China, arguing that the government''s push to expand pension and health insurance coverage to urban residents and rural migrants has not reduced, but rather reproduced, economic inequalities. He explains this apparent paradox by analyzing the decisions of the political actors responsible for pension reform: urban officialsTrade ReviewSocialist Insecurity is a concise and well-written monograph that is grounded in solid empirical research. Frazier makes good use of his rich interview and focus group material, which help him back his institutionalist claims about the political and economic logic of pension reform. His emphasis on state legitimacy and public opinion is especially revealing, and so is the comparative analysis of China and the other 'large uneven developers.... It is a must-read for scholars who are interested in Chinese public policy. -- Daniel Beland * Journal of Asian Studies *By examining the way social security policies have heightened [income] inequalities and contributed to a process of uneven development in China, Frazier has made a major contribution to understanding the issues. His account also has relevance for the formulation of policies that can resolve the problem.... Its central theme will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of social policy and social development in the Global South. -- James Midgley * Journal of Social Policy *This book explores the background to the Chinese pensions problem... [where] millions are without pensions or indeed any other kind of welfare support; the pension funds that do exist have billions badly invested by local officials, and the rural areas are paying benefits which they have no funds to support..... The book looks at all these concerns and many others as well... above all looks at the public policy issues that are both frustrating and driving change.... The conclusion of this lucid and valuable study is that China, rather like western government, faces a crucial choice about how to rebalance an economy whose rapid growth has thus far been based on high savings, low consumption and limited public welfare provision into the twenty-first century when all of these are likely to change. -- Robin Ellison * Pensions *This book is very comprehensive and informative and will certainly open readers' eyes by focusing on two of the most serious issues in China, namely pensions and politics. It provides a detailed analysis of the tense relationship between China's social, economic and political complexities and its fragmented pension system. -- Stuart H.

Romain Huret offers a refreshing perspective on a time when the U.S. and its economists cared a lot about poverty and inequality. This is a great combination of political, economic, and intellectual history." -- Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century"The Experts' War on Poverty details the behind-the-scenes federal bureaucrats who, before poverty was "rediscovered," were committed to making social policy a tool for equitable income distribution. Romain Huret offers a compelling take on the politics of drawing attention to inequality in the proverbial age of affluence." -- Alice O'Connor, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Social Science for What?"This unique book looks at experts who used empirical methods to measure the extent of poverty in America during the fifties and early sixties. Working in disparate places—foundations, government bureaus, and universities—they formed an intellectual network with considerable influence over the nation's approach to poverty. This carefully researched book adds a great deal to our understanding of the war on poverty and should command the attention of policy historians on both sides of the Atlantic." -- Edward Berkowitz, George Washington University, and coauthor of The Other WelfareTable of ContentsIntroduction Part One: A Science of Poverty (1945-1963) 1.

Cornell University Press The Other Welfare
Book SynopsisThe Other Welfare offers the first comprehensive history of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), from its origins as part of President Nixon's daring social reform efforts to its pivotal role in the politics of the Clinton administration. Enacted into law in 1972, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) marked the culmination of liberal social and economic policies that began during the New Deal. The new program provided cash benefits to needy elderly, blind, and disabled individuals. Because of the complex character of SSImarking both the high tide of the Great Society and the beginning of the retrenchment of the welfare stateit provides the perfect subject for assessing the development of the American state in the late twentieth century. SSI was launched with the hope of freeing welfare programs from social and political stigma; it instead became a source of controversy almost from its very start. Intended as a program that paid uniform benefits across the nation, it ended up repTrade ReviewThe Other Welfare is an excellent and insightful contribution to the study of federal and state interactions in social-welfare policy making and execution. In a few years its readers will want to return to it to trace the parallels between SSI and Obamacare. -- John E. Murray * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *Berkowitz and DeWitt offer an exceptionally fine history of SSI. Along with their descriptive project, Berkowitz and DeWitt offer a handful of historically informed lessons for SSI, including how the perceived 'deservedness' of program beneficiaries can profoundly affect how policies are understood and how they are 'reformed.'. -- Stephen Pimpare * The Journal of American History, *Berkowitz and DeWitt's story of SSI illuminates not ony the program's participants but also the largely uncharted territory of social poicymaking after 'the high tide of the expansive welfare state of the postwar and Great Society eras.' Drawing on recent multidisciplinary scholarship on the state and American political development, they point to new structures and actors shaping social policy in an age of political conservatism, market ascendancy, congressional restructuring, and media saturation. -- Jennifer Mittelstadt * The American Historical Review *For those familiar with the SSI program, the details in the book will shed some needed light on the legislative wrangling that produced the program's cumbersome and often confusing structure. For those unfamiliar with SSI, the book is a well-documented reminder of the difficulties of efficiently and effectively managing federal income support programs across changing political and social environments. -- Mary C. Daly * Journal of Economic Literature *In their masterful historical account of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Edward D. Berkowitz and Larry DeWitt argue convincingly that disability benefits policy, though little studied by historians and political scientists, is at the heart of contemporary debate over the proper scope of government and its capacity to do good.. Drawing from archival material not previously available, Berkowitz and DeWitt's The Other Welfare is a marvelous book and their inquiry a timely one. Reformers of the left and right, academics, and policy analysts would do well to heed its lessons as our nation, amid great public doubt, partisan rancor, and budgetary pressures, rolls out the Affordable Care Act, one of the most ambitious pieces of social legislation since SSI. -- Jennifer L. Erkul * Journal of Children and Poverty *This unusual book provides an in-depth history of the administration of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program from its inception through 1996 and the Clinton administration. Berkowitz and DeWitt examine the pressures and compromises they witnessed from their respective professional positions.... The authors' proximity to the program enables them to report the details of political maneuvers and policy proposals few others could achieve. * Choice *This well-researched and insightfully argued history of the SSI program tells us how and why SSI failed to reinvent welfare and illuminates our understanding of U.S. social policy in several fundamental ways along the way. It shows that welfare policy—particularly in the U.S. political-cultural context of deserving and underserving poor—is inherently fraught with controversy.... In this sense, it takes its place in the venerable tradition of American Political Development. -- Benjamin W. Veghte * Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare *Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction1.

Cornell University Press Compassionate Communalism
Book SynopsisIn Lebanon, religious parties such as Hezbollah play a critical role in providing health care, food, poverty relief, and other social welfare services alongside or in the absence of government efforts. Some parties distribute goods and services broadly, even to members of other parties or other faiths, while others allocate services more narrowly to their own base. In Compassionate Communalism, Melani Cammett analyzes the political logics of sectarianism through the lens of social welfare. On the basis of years of research into the varying welfare distribution strategies of Christian, Shia Muslim, and Sunni Muslim political parties in Lebanon, Cammett shows how and why sectarian groups deploy welfare benefits for such varied goals as attracting marginal voters, solidifying intraconfessional support, mobilizing mass support, and supporting militia fighters. Cammett then extends her arguments with novel evidence from the Sadrist movement in post-Saddam Iraq and the BharaTrade ReviewOverall, Compassionate Communalism is the kind of work on non-state social welfare that fills a gap in the political economy literature. I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in Lebanese and Middle Eastern politics, political economy in weak states, ethnic politics and consocialism. -- Barea M.

Cornell University Press The Politics of Nonstate Social Welfare
Book SynopsisAcross the world, welfare states are under challengeor were never developed extensively in the first placewhile non-state actors increasingly provide public goods and basic welfare. In many parts of the Middle East and South Asia, sectarian organizations and political parties supply basic services to ordinary people more extensively and effectively than governments. In sub-Saharan Africa, families struggle to pay hospital fees, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) launch welfare programs as states cut subsidies and social programs. Likewise, in parts of Latin America, international and domestic NGOs and, increasingly, private firms are key suppliers of social welfare in both urban and rural communities. Even in the United States, where the welfare state is far more developed, secular NGOs and faith-based organizations are critical components of social safety nets. Despite official entitlements to public welfare, citizens in Russia face increasing out-of-pocket expenses as they aTrade Review"The Politics of Non-state Social Welfare begins to fill a major gap in the welfare literature. Almost all of the previous literature on welfare provision in developing countries has focused on relations between citizens and the state. This book offers the first comprehensive examination of how citizens and states are affected by the growth of NGOs, sectarian organizations, informal brokers, and other types of non-state actors. The authors of the case study chapters offer in-depth accounts of such providers, drawing on extensive fieldwork. In introductory and concluding chapters, Melani Cammett and Lauren M. MacLean elaborate and assess a series of carefully nuanced propositions about variations in the inclusiveness, accountability, and sustainability of the services provided by non-state actors and the conditions in which they complement or undermine the role of the state." -- Robert Kaufman, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Rutgers UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Melani Cammett and Lauren M.

Cornell University Press Dismantling Solidarity
Book SynopsisWhy has old-age security become less solidaristic and increasingly tied to risky capitalist markets? Drawing on rich archival data that covers more than fifty years of American history, Michael A. McCarthy argues that the critical driver was policymakers'' reactions to capitalist crises and their political imperative to promote capitalist growth.Pension development has followed three paths of marketization in America since the New Deal, each distinct but converging: occupational pension plans were adopted as an alternative to real increases in Social Security benefits after World War II, private pension assets were then financialized and invested into the stock market, and, since the 1970s, traditional pension plans have come to be replaced with riskier 401(k) retirement plans. Comparing each episode of change, Dismantling Solidarity mounts a forceful challenge to common understandings of America's private pension system and offers an alternative political economy of the welfTrade ReviewOffers not only an excellent and comprehensive overview but also a critical discussion of how the retirement security system has developed in the United States since World War II. With [McCarthy's] in-depth understanding of the U.S. welfare state, labor relations in general, and old-age security in particular, the author has written a coherent and informative book.... A great book that gives a masterful overview of howold-age security has developed in the United States, and it explains these developments with convincing arguments.Without any hesitation, I would recommend Dismantling Solidarity to a broad readership, including researchers and students in sociology, history, political science, and economics as well as stakeholders and policymakers. * American Journal of Sociology *McCarthy navigates his theoretical terrain deftly and efficiently, taking the heavily dog-eared body of structuralist-Marxist state theory (Block, O’Connor, Offe, and Poulantzas) and makes it feel fresh.... Dismantling Solidarity joins a welcome influx of new scholarship that, in its framing and focus, calls attention to the fact that ours is a political moment that hungers for smart class analysis. * International Journal of Comparative Sociology *As McCarthy rightly points out, the connection between developments of the welfare state and state management of economic crises has been drawn before. McCarthy's contribution, apart from skillfully tracing the history of the private pension system... is his explanation for and analysis of the contingency of retirement income. Dismantling Solidarity is an excellent account of the history of private pensions, but it is also a window into the future. * Political Science Quarterly *Table of Contents1. The Retirement Puzzle 2.

Cornell University Press Healthy Democracies
Book SynopsisDo the pressures of economic globalization undermine the welfare state? Contrary to the expectations of many analysts, Taiwan and South Korea have embarked on a new trajectory, toward a strengthened welfare state and universal inclusion. In Healthy Democracies, Joseph Wong offers a political explanation for health care reform in these two countries. He focuses specifically on the ways in which democratic change in Taiwan and South Korea altered the incentives and ultimately the decisions of policymakers and social policy activists in contemporary health care debates.Wong uses extensive field research and interviews to explore both similarities and subtle differences in the processes of political change and health care reform in Taiwan and South Korea. During the period of authoritarian rule, he argues, state leaders in both places could politically afford to pursue selective social policiesreform was piecemeal and health care policy outcomes far from universal.

Book SynopsisIn the period since the Second World War there has been both a massive influx of women into the Canadian job market and substantive changes to the welfare state as early expansion gave way, by the 1970s, to a prolonged period of retrenchment and restructuring. Through a detailed historical account of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program from 1945 to 1997, Ann Porter demonstrates how gender was central both to the construction of the post-war welfare state, as well as to its subsequent crisis and restructuring. Drawing on a wide range of sources (including archival material, UI administrative tribunal decisions, and documents from the government, labour and women''s groups) she examines the implications of restructuring for women''s equality, as well as how women''s groups, labour and the state interacted in efforts to shape the policy agenda.Porter argues that, while the post-war welfare state model was based on a family with a single male breadwinner, the new model is one

Book SynopsisIn San Francisco, the St. James Infirmary (SJI) and the California Prostitutes Education Project (CAL-PEP) provide free, nonjudgmental medical care, counseling, and other health and social services by and for sex workers—a radical political commitment at odds with government policies that criminalize prostitution. To maintain and expand these much-needed services and to qualify for funding from state, federal, and local authorities, such organizations must comply with federal and state regulations for nonprofits. In Sex Work Politics, Samantha Majic investigates the way nonprofit organizations negotiate their governmental obligations while maintaining their commitment to outreach and advocacy for sex workers'' rights as well as broader sociopolitical change.Drawing on multimethod qualitative research, Majic outlines the strategies that CAL-PEP and SJI employ to balance the conflicting demands of service and advocacy, which include treating sex work as labor with lTrade Review"Majic has written an influential book, one that challenges conventional views of government-funded nonprofit organizations as well as those individuals who work in the sex industry. . . .

University of Pennsylvania Press Warner Mifflin
Book SynopsisWarner Mifflin—energetic, uncompromising, and reviled—was the key figure connecting the abolitionist movements before and after the American Revolution. A descendant of one of the pioneering families of William Penn''s Holy Experiment, Mifflin upheld the Quaker pacifist doctrine, carrying the peace testimony to Generals Howe and Washington across the blood-soaked Germantown battlefield and traveling several thousand miles by horse up and down the Atlantic seaboard to stiffen the spines of the beleaguered Quakers, harried and exiled for their neutrality during the war for independence. Mifflin was also a pioneer of slave reparations, championing the radical idea that after their liberation, Africans in America were entitled to cash payments and land or shared crop arrangements. Preaching restitution, Mifflin led the way in making Kent County, Delaware, a center of reparationist doctrine.After the war, Mifflin became the premier legislative lobbyist of his generationTrade Review"Mifflin is frequently overlooked in the pantheon of Quaker abolitionists. Nash's book is a long-awaited contribution to histories of Quaker antislavery at the end of the eighteenth century, bringing this pivotal figure back to prominence in the era of the Revolution and New Republic . . . Nash successfully utilises the best of the biographical genre to demonstrate Mifflin's originality among his peers." * Quaker Studies *"Warner Mifflin is a blessing. It brings the Quaker abolitionist from the historical shadows and into the blazing light of his moral courage and singular efforts to right the terrible wrongs of American slavery and racism.

Rutgers University Press Complicated Lives Girls Parents Drugs and
Book SynopsisComplicated Lives focuses on the lives of sixty-five drug-using girls in the juvenile justice system who grew up in families characterized by parental drug use, violence, and child maltreatment. Vera Lopez’s work examines how these relationships with their parents contribute to the girls’ future drug use and involvement in the justice system. Trade Review"Excellent and flawlessly written, Complicated Lives is a crucial piece of work. Lopez brilliantly addresses the complex intersectional and myriad of challenges surrounding these girls, their parents, and the juvenile 'justice' system." -- Joanne Belknap * author of The Invisible Woman: Gender, Crime, and Justice *"Delinquency theory and research has largely ignored criminalized girls and girls of color. For this reason, Complicated Lives fills a huge void. A must read for those who care about girlhood, with all its complexities and challenges, in America." -- Meda Chesney-Lind * co-author of The Female Offender: Girls, Women, and Crime *"Complicated Lives is carefully constructed, using qualitative data and an intersectional lens. Engaging and clear." * Society and Gender *"Complicated Lives provides the groundwork for evidence-based interventions for a population of teenage girls whose needs are often not being met effectively because of funders’ failure to hear the voices of those most affected by adverse conditions in the home, community, and institutional settings. The book deals with some of the most complicated societal issues. Lopez appreciates the larger picture and leads us in a positive direction toward overcoming the myriad of counterproductive forces that impede successful outcomes." * Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Growing Up in a “Dysfunctional” Family 2 Mothers’ Little Helpers 3 Daddy’s Little Girl: Feeling Rejected, Abandoned, and Unloved 4 Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places 5 Doing Drugs: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 6 Parents’ Attempts to Intervene on Behalf of Drug-Using Daughters 7 Property of the State: Locked Up, Locked Out, and in Need of Treatment 8 Moving beyond the Individual toward Programmatic, Systemic, and Policy Solutions Appendices Acknowledgments Notes References Index

University of Minnesota Press Building a House in Heaven Pious Neoliberalism
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Mona Atia has given us a grand tour of the landscape of an increasingly Islamic oriented Egypt. She demonstrates how the state’s attempted control over popular practices of religion may have laid the ground for a subsequent religious revival. Building a House in Heaven uncovers the contradictions of the Islamist-led human development project and shows how older established practices of Islamic charity merge with market-based approaches, resulting in a unique form of ‘pious neoliberalism’ that is increasingly shaping the future of Egypt." —Nezar AlSayyad, University of California, BerkeleyTable of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsA Note on TransliterationIntroduction1.
