This is to announce the publication of Dr Sebnem Eroglu's new book, 'Beyond the Resources of Poverty: Gecekondu Living in the Turkish Capital', published by Ashgate. The book seeks to understand the type of responses households devise to counter poverty and the sources of their relative success (or failure) in reducing poverty. It demonstrates the role of different resources beyond income, including economic, social and cultural capital. Through an exploration of the effects of wider structural factors such as state social security and housing policies on household resources, the book challenges the dominant view which overemphasises the resilience of the poor.
