This collection of essays extends cross"?disciplinary conversations between co"?authors that began as part of a podcast series by the Relational Poverty Network, "New Poverty Politics for Changing Times". The authors engage impoverishment as a relation, as an outcome of intersecting political projects of racialised oppression, political"?economic injustice and socio"?legal control. Across various sites, the collection's essays trace poverty politics, providing conjunctural and multi"?scalar analyses that illuminate the operations of power in producing impoverishment. They direct our attention beyond topics typically associated with poverty studies, showing how processes such as bordering, migrant illegality, racial capitalism and caring community politics intersect in poverty politics today. Our introductory essay argues for a relational poverty analysis that addresses the entanglements of cultural politics, those that produce classificatory schemes, together with political"?economic processes that produce various forms of poverty politics in the current conjuncture. We chart thinkable and unthinkable poverty politics across the collection's essays in order to analyse current hegemonic formations of poverty governance as well as alternative imaginations and actions that are resisting and reworking relations of impoverishment. Ultimately, this collection expands vocabularies and analytical repertoires for understanding the ongoing ways in which impoverishment is produced and resisted, positing relationality as key to re"?politicising poverty towards a more just future.
