Product Review
"[The book] provides fresh perspectives on the place of religion in the provision of services over several centuries." -- the American Historical Review - Feb 1999
[The book] provides fresh perspectives on the place of religion in the provision of services over several centuries. It illustrates the challenges - and pitfalls - of pursuing comparisons on a global rather than a regional scale. And it counters the image of a better, mythological past that has colored the writings of welfare critics from both the left and right.
–the American Historical Review, Feb 1999
Product Description
The Locus of Care provides an historical perspective on welfare detailing issues of mental health, elderly and child care from antiquity to the present. The contributors reassess community and institutional care and the future expectations of welfare provisions.
