Imagined Orphans: Poor Families, Child Welfare, and Contested Citizenship in London - Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies
Lydia Murdoch
Focuses on the discrepancy between the representation and the reality of children's experiences within welfare institutions. This book argues that this discrepancy stems from conflicts over middle and working-class notions of citizenship. It urges readers to reconsider the stereotypically dire situation of families living in poverty.
