Warum ist es so schwierig, sich als Betroffene gegen Armut und Erwerbslosigkeit sozial zu engagieren? Ihr Einsatz ist zwar vielfältig - ob bei den Tafeln, in der Beratung oder im Protest gegen "Hartz IV". Doch auch in der Zivilgesellschaft wirken Mechanismen der Diskriminierung, die dem Anspruch dieser Akteure auf Gleichheit als Bürger entgegenstehen.

The author, with the help of qualitative interviews, analyses typical beneficial and inhibiting conditions of action, and thereby contributes to an understanding of the social division of civic action in the context of eroding social rights. The predominant focus on the civil apathy of the precarious is thus countered by the experiences of socially active citizens in situations of poverty.... view less
