“Connecting Charity, Power and Care features an outstanding and timely collection of essential readings by internationally respected scholars that challenge the field of Sociology and beyond to consider more seriously and critically how charity impacts individuals, organizations, and society.”Angela M. Eikenberry, Professor of Public Policy, University of Connecticut, USA.“This collection is an essential addition to critical scholarship on charity and philanthropy. The authors pose difficult, and frankly, uncomfortable questions about what drives the charitable impulse and who really benefits from philanthropic giving—questions we should ask now more than ever.”Billie Sandberg, Associate Professor of Public Administration, Portland State University, USA.“An excellently curated collection of chapters, asking vital questions about the relationships between charity, power and care. A thought provoking must-read for academics, students, and practitioners alike.”Angela Ellis Paine, Lecturer in Voluntary Sector Management, Bayes Business School, UK.“At a moment when the wealthy are both championed and critiqued for their philanthropy, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of charity by revealing how giving is fundamentally structured by the dynamics of power and inequality. By bringing a sociological perspective to the study of charity, the chapters in this book delineate the multiple ways in which giving both is constituted by and constitutes broader social relations, so challenging taken-for-granted assumptions and illuminating how complex relationships among power, care, and social change shape who gives and who gets.”Emily Barman, Professor of Management & Sociology, Loyola University Chicago, USA.“This book offers a distinctly sociological, global, and critical account of the nonprofit and voluntary sector. At a moment when cheap critiques of charity are plentiful, the authors' principled stance on what works and what does not is an essential contribution. Moving beyond a narrow understanding of charity as giving and volunteering, Connecting Charity, Power and Care: A Critical Sociology examines the relations and power structures that underpin the sector. A landmark for the emerging field of critical charity studies and required reading for both sociologists and scholars of nonprofit organizations.”Christof Brandtner, Professor of Nonprofit Management and Governance, WU Vienna, Austria, author of Cities in Action.
