The central purpose of this book is to challenge current social constructions of poverty, reading education, and the putative relationship between the two. It explores how official and popular representations of poverty are bound to specific historical, social, and economic conditions of their own production. The book offers four stances of reading poverty: the first interrogates the official construction of poverty; the second explains how various representations of the causes of poverty demonstrate the ideological positions and political intentions of their proponents; the third reverses the connotation of the double-entendre of the book's title to explore the poverty of reading practices in American schools; and the fourth presents the need to retheorize poverty and school reading practices in the post-industrial democracy. After a preface and an introduction, chapters in the book are: (1) This Train Don't Carry No Shirkers...Reading Bill Clinton; (2) Them That's Not Shall Lose: Reading Official Poverty in America?; (3) If It Wasn't for Bad Luck: Reading the Causes of Poverty; (4) And There Ain't Nothin' You Can Do about It: Reading "The Bell Curve"; (5) Bad to the Bone: Reading Moral Literacy; (6) The World Is in an Uproar/The Danger Zone Is Everywhere: Reading the Reading Crisis; (7) Come on Up, I've Got a Lifeline: Reading Targeted Programs; (8) Everybody Look What's Goin' Down: Reading Educational Functionalism and Rereading Poverty in America; and (9) Listen Here People, Listen to Me, I Don't Wanna Be Mistreated by No Bourgeoisie: Reading the Road Ahead.

Beliefs About the Causes of Poverty in Parents and Adolescents Experiencing Economic Disadvantage in Hong Kong
Daniel T. L. Shek A1
A1 The Chinese University Social Welfare Practice and Research Center Hong Kong
Abstract:
Over 2 consecutive years, parents and their adolescent children from 199 poor families in Hong Kong responded to the Chinese Perceived Causes of Poverty Scale, which assesses beliefs about the causes of poverty. The author abstracted 4 factors from the scale. Analyses showed that these factors (personal problems, exploitation, lack of opportunity, fate) were stable across time and across different samples. The author also found related subscales to be internally consistent. Regarding the effects of time, adolescents had weaker endorsement of the belief that poverty is caused by the personal problems of poor people over time. The author found parent—adolescent differences (parents vs. adolescents) and parental differences (fathers vs. mothers) regarding beliefs about the causes of poverty in terms of personal problems of poor people, exploitation, and fate.

Abstract
Policies directed at alleviating poverty rest on a set of assumptions regarding the demographic composition of the poor and the psychological dispositions of poor individuals. Evidence from a long-term study of a representative sample of low-income individuals shows that poverty is very widespread but not usually very persistent, and that the characteristics of the persistently poor do not conform to the conventional wisdom. Furthermore, the economic status of the poor does not appear to have been caused by psychological dispositions. Intergenerational data from the same study show generally weak links between the poverty or welfare status of parents and that of their children. Public policies for dealing with poverty can be properly devised without attempting to resocialize poor people and without undue concern that poverty programs will generate dependency among the majority of those they help.What Causes Poverty?: A Postmodern View, by Lakshman Yapa © 1996 Association of American Geographers.
