Rethinking Social Exclusion - The End of the Social?

Inhabits a theoretical space and demonstrates Winlow and Hall at their brilliant best as theorists of contemporary social exclusion. This book represents a powerful, rallying response to Benjamin's notion that "It is only for the sake of those without a hope that hope is given to us".
