Artykuł jest recenzją książki Poverty propaganda. Exploring the myths dr Tracy Shildrick z Uniwersytetu w Newcastle. T. Shildrick opisuje zjawisko stygmatyzacji osób doświadczających ubóstwa ujawniające się w treściach medialnych, polityce, w tym w polityce publicznej, które nazywa propagandą. Publikacja ma charakter polemiczny, autorka obala mity przy pomocy wiedzy naukowej oraz wskazuje możliwe funkcje i motywacje ideologiczne posługiwania się propagandą. Wraz ze stygmatyzacją ubogich taki sposób komunikacji wzmacnia indywidualistyczne wyjaśnienia ubóstwa, pomijając jego strukturalne przyczyny w postaci problemu społecznego.

The article is a review of Poverty propaganda. Exploring the myths by Dr. Tracy Shildrick of the University of Newcastle. T. Shildrick describes the phenomenon of the stigmatization of people experiencing poverty in the media, politics and public policy, which she calls propaganda. The publication is polemical, the author exposes myths with the help of academic knowledge and indicates the possible functions and ideological motivations of using propaganda. Together with the stigmatization of the poor this kind of communication strengthens individualistic explanations of poverty, bypassing its structural causes as a social problem.
