America's Struggle Against Poverty, 1900-1994

THIS EDITION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEWER EDITION In this probing history of twentieth-century American attitudes toward the poor, James Patterson explores how we have viewed poverty and what our welfare reformers have tried to do about it. It is a history broad in scope--and one that is especially pertinent to the ongoing welfare-reform debate.
