概要

「貧困」は、単なる経済的困窮を示す概念ではなく、社会的身分、道徳的規範、宗教的価値観などと密接に結びつき、各時代の社会構造の影響を受けて変容してきました。

英Bloomsburyの定評ある「文化史」シリーズに加わった本書は、邦訳書『貧困の救いかた：貧しさと救済をめぐる世界史』（青土社）で知られるSteven M. Beaudoinを編者に迎えて、55名もの専門家の執筆協力にて、古代から現在まで2500年にわたって、世界史における「貧困」の文化的変遷とリアリティを豊富な事例とともにたどります。時代別の全6巻（古代 / 中世 / 世界経済の夜明け/ 大西洋世界台頭の時代 / 帝国の時代 / 現代）は、各巻に共通の章立て（1. 貧困の定義 / 2. 貧困、慈善、スピリチュアリティ / 3. 欠乏と欲求の表象 / 4. 貧困、人種、エスニシティ / 5. 貧困とジェンダー / 6. 共同体と排除 / 7. 貧困と経済思想 / 8. 貧困と身体の政治）で、時代と分野を越える「貧困」の主要テーマに沿った比較に適しています。各巻に序文、注記、書誌、索引を含み、240点の豊富な図版も視覚的に理解を助けます。

人文社会科学の幅広い分野で利用可能な参考図書として本書をおすすめいたします。
