There has been much discussion in recent years, on both Left and Right, about the existence of an alleged 'underclass' in both Britain and the USA. It has been claimed this group lives outside the mainstream of society, is characterised by crime, suffers from long-term unemployment and single parenthood, and is alienated from its core values. In Underclass: A History of the Excluded, 1880-2000 John Welshman shows that there have always been concerns about an 'underclass', whether constructed as the 'social residuum' of the 1880's, the 'problem family' ofPoorGreat BritainHistory20th centuryPoorGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPoorUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMarginality, SocialGreat BritainHistory20th centuryMarginality, SocialUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPoorHistoryPoorHistoryPoorHistoryMarginality, SocialHistoryMarginality, SocialHistory0005.560005.5609410904Welshman John1600831MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811970603321Underclass3924157UNINA
