Abstract: | Poverty is often thought of as an inevitable social condition, and the blame for any shortcomings in governmental welfare
policies is frequently placed upon the failings of individuals, markets, and demography. By exploring the influence of neoliberal
politics on archaeologies of slum-life this article makes the case that less emphasis should be placed upon the perceived
failings of individuals and more effort should be placed on recovering the complex social networks which sustained community-life
within Hungate and other so-called urban slums. |
