BIOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION IN EUROPE
Experiences and life journeys
Edited by Prue Chamberlayne, Michael Rustin and Tom Wengraf
This book rethinks welfare predicaments, emphasising gender, generation,
ethnic and class implications of economic and social deregulation.
Based on 250 life-story interviews in seven European Union countries,
Biography and social exclusion in Europe:
*analyses personal struggles against social exclusion to illuminate
local milieus and changing welfare regimes and contexts;
*points to challenging new agendas for European politics and welfare,
beyond the rhetoric of communitarianism and the New Deal;
*vividly illustrates the lived experience and environmental complexity
working for and against structural processes of social exclusion;
*refashions the interpretive tradition as a teaching and research tool
linking macro and micro realities.
