| Synopsis: |
This book brings together the latest thinking about poverty dynamics from diverse analytic traditions. While covering a vast body of conceptual and empirical knowledge about economic and social mobility, the ten chapters take the reader on compelling journeys of multigenerational accounts of three villages in Kanartaka, India; twelve years in the life of a street child in Burkina Faso; a shorter term comparative examination of country-wide experiences with mobility in rich nations; and much more. The authors - leading development practitioners and scholars from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology - critically examine the literature from their disciplines and contribute new frameworks and evidence from their own works. |
