Rethinking Citizenship: Welfare, Ideology and Change in Modern Society by Maurice Roche (Lecturer in Sociology, Sheffield University)
In a wide-ranging discussion Roche provides a new analysis and assessment of citizenship in developed societies. The book is particularly important in its inclusion of an assessment of contemporary debates about the rise of the 'new poverty', the development of an 'underclass', as well as other 'post-industrial' changes affecting employment and family life.
