'The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty is a timely and welcome addition to the growing literature on poverty, economic inequality and human rights. Coming at a propitious global moment, in the wake of a crushing pandemic that has reinforced and exacerbated the historical causes, impacts and patterns of poverty, this volume provides cogent and innovative insights into confronting poverty as a core human rights issue. An impressively interdisciplinary exploration by a collection of thoughtful and informed scholars and advocates who are well versed in the issues of poverty and human rights, the Handbook is a compelling and useful text for educators. Hopefully, it may also spawn commitments from policy makers and governments worldwide to confront the urgent need to eradicate poverty and inequality.'
