The processes construct immigrants and refugees as a kind of people who are not only culturally different but also behind, deficient and weak, and thus assigned the potential to benefit from welfare work. These processes are designated to advance a \u003ci\u003eracial welfare dynamic of remedial circularity\u003c\/i\u003e which keeps the immigrant and refugee on the threshold of modern living and democracy. It is thus depicted how welfare work is intertwined not with a biological framework but with a cultural framework naturalising and ontologising cultural differences. The book examines how welfare work tends to appreciate immigrants and refugees as dislocated people with a cultural lack and how it abides by the dictums of civilising expansions and humanitarian imperialism \u003ci\u003ewithin\u003c\/i\u003e the modern state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be useful for every scholar who wants to reconsider and think differently about how the welfare state is going to proceed in a global society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929282433175,"sku":"9780367661830","price":3486.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367661830.webp?v=1771598816","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/welfare-work-with-immigrants-and-refugees-in-a-social-democratic-welfare-state-9780367661830","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
