La gloria de la pobreza. Emergencia de actores frente a programas de asistencia social

Abstract

The objective of this text is to analyze how stemming from the promotion of welfare  programs in localities denominated as poor, new political actors with direct impact in the form of the local organization have emerged. The “eligible subject” of  support has created unheard of forms of social exclusion, at the time in which it has generated various means to administer their life.
