Routledge - Poverty and Social Exclusion in the New Russia

Poverty and Social Exclusion in the New Russia provides a deep look into the regional, ethnic, and socio-cultural aspects of poverty within Russia. Based on a major research project funded by the EU (INTAS), this volume offers a detailed investigation into how different communities experience social hardship. Through in-depth household interviews and survey data, researchers from the UK, Denmark, and Russia compare various societies across several key themes. The text examines how the definition of poverty changes depending on regional and ethnic settings. It also looks at the formation and reproduction of poverty subcultures in different communities. This book is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the changing social landscape of Russia. By analyzing real-world data and diverse community settings, it provides a clear view of the complexities surrounding social exclusion in recent years.
