Work, Employment & Society This is an interesting book. Dwyer offers a very accessible introduction to a variety of perspectives on social welfare citizenship. Young People Now ... deserves a wider audience than most academic texts. SCOLAG Legal Journal ... adds a fresh dimension to what can be a dry, though important topic. Disability & Society ... an interesting and challenging book which deserves a wide readership. Housing Studies ... a considered and valuable contribution to our understanding of the ways in which the foundations of our social citizenship are currently being re-constituted. Its particular importance stems from the fact that it is based on a perceptive and engaging study of the views of grass-roots service users. Hartley Dean The combination of an accessible introduction to current debates and an empirical study of the views of welfare users makes this a valuable addition to the literature on social citizenship. The views of welfare users are thoughtful and thought-provoking; they provide important 'feedback' on key areas of government policy. The book deserves to be read widely. Ruth Lister ... an excellent book ... the model developed by Dwyer enables a range of potentially difficult material to be conveyed systematically an in an undergraduate student accessible format. David Crimmens, Faculty of Social and Life Sciences, University of Lincolnshire and Humberside Author InformationPeter Dwyer is a Lecturer in Social Policy, in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds.
