Poverty, philanthropy and the state
Charities and the working classes in London, 1918–79
by Katharine Bradley
This book looks at a number of charities in London between 1918 and 1979, and the ways in which they negotiated the growth of the welfare state and changes in the communities around them.These charities - the 'university settlements'- were founded in the 1880's and 1890's and brought young graduates such as William Beveridge & Clement Attlee to deprived areas of cities to undertake social work. It is of interest to those who wish to know more about the complexities of the relationships between charities, the welfare state and individuals in the course of the twentieth century. Bradley argues that whilst the settlements often had difficulties in sustaining their work with the vulnerable, they remained an important factor between the individual and the impacts of poverty. Aimed at scholars in the fields of history, social policy, sociology and criminology this book will also be of interest to practitioners in the voluntary sector and government.

Etwas fehlt immer
Erzählungen
by Guy Helminger
Guy Helmingers Erzählungen sind für vieles gelobt worden: den nachtschwarzen, grandios trockenen Humor, die Raffinesse, die so brutale wie komische Abgründigkeit und nicht zuletzt die Tatsache, daß hier endlich einmal jemand eine stichhaltige Erklärung dafür gibt, warum manche Männer vom Zigarettenholen nicht mehr zurückkommen.

Lawyers for the poor
Legal advice, voluntary action and citizenship in England, 1890–1990
by Katherine Bradley
From the 1890s onwards, social reformers, volunteer lawyers, and politicians increasingly came to see access to affordable or free legal advice as a critical part of helping working-class people uphold their rights with landlords, employers, and retailers - and, from the 1940s, with the welfare state. Whilst a state scheme was launched in 1949, it was never fully implemented and help from a lawyer remained out of the reach of many people. Lawyers for the poor is the first full-length study of the development of voluntary action and mutual schemes to make the law more accessible, and the pressure put on the legal profession and governments to bring in further reforms. It offers new insights of the role of access to the law in shaping ideas about citizenship and civil rights in the twentieth century.
