Hairiness and Hairlessness: An African Feminist View of Poverty (Sharon Adetutu Omotoso) -- Chapter 6. Is the Debate on Poverty Research a Global One? A Consideration of Odera Oruka's 'Human Minimum' as a case of Epistemic Injustice (Jonathan Chimakonam) -- Chapter 7. Poverty, Richness, and Aid: A conceptual Proposal (Bettina Mahlert) -- Chapter 8. Absolute Poverty in European Welfare States (Gottfried Schweiger and Helmut Gaisbauer) -- Chapter 9. Giving Well: Philanthropy for Human Rights (Patricia Illingworth) -- Part II: On The Measurement of Multidimensional Poverty -- Chapter 10. Multidimensional Poverty Measures as Policy Tools (Sabina Alkire) -- Chapter 11. Poverty: Beyond Obscurantism (Sanjay Reddy) -- Chapter 12. An absolute multidimensional poverty measure in the functioning space (and relative measure in the resource space): An Illustration using Indian data (Caroline Dotter and Stephan Klasen) -- Chapter 13. Poverty in All its Forms: Determining the dimensions of poverty through merging knowledge (Xavier Godinot and Robert Walker) -- Chapter 14.

This anthology constitutes an important contribution to the interdisciplinary debate on poverty measurement and alleviation. Absolute and relative poverty-both within and across state boundaries-are standardly measured and evaluated in monetary terms. However, poverty researchers have highlighted the shortfalls of one-dimensional monetary metrics. A new consensus is emerging that effectively addressing poverty requires a nuanced understanding of poverty as a relational phenomenon involving deprivations in multiple dimensions, including health, standard of living, education and political participation. This volume advances the debate on poverty by providing a forum for philosophers and empirical researchers. It combines philosophically sound analysis and genuinely global research on poverty's social embeddedness. Next to an introduction to this interdisciplinary field-which links Practical Philosophy, Development Economics, Political Science, and Sociology-it contains articles by leading international experts and early career scholars. The contributors analyse the concept of poverty, detail its multiple dimensions, reveal epistemic injustices in poverty research, and reflect on the challenges of poverty-related social activism. The unifying theme connecting this volume's contributions is that poverty must be understood as a multidimensional and socially relational phenomenon, and that this insight can enhance our efforts to measure and alleviate poverty.
