Críticas
"As a concise overview of twenty-five years of writing on poverty, welfare, and public education, this is an exceptionally valuable and important book...It will be read widely by social scientists, policy makers, and concerned citizens."--Molly Ladd-Taylor, Journal of American History "A must reading for all social workers ... interested in the current debate about the role of government in social welfare. Katz's keen historical analysis informs us what our response to need has been and poses questions that we need to ask to avoid future errors."--Edward J. Gumz, Families in Society "A provocative, stimulating exploration that clarifies which approaches in the ever-contentious debate over the "right" approach to poverty are genuinely new and which are generations old."--Booklist "No historian has written more wisely on urban poverty and social welfare policy in this country, and [Katz] is at his commanding best here."--Kai Erikson, The Nation
Reseña del editor
Author Michael Katz traces contemporary poverty in the United States back to the 19th-century attitude that poverty was linked to certain forms of bad behavior. Showing how this misdiagnosis has afflicted today's welfare and educational systems, Katz explores four topicsthe welfare state, the "underclass" debate, urban school reform, and what strategies the urban poor apply to survive.
