The Color of Welfare: How Racism Undermined the War on Poverty
Quadagno, Jill (Professor of Sociology, Mildred and Claude Pepper Chair in Social Gerontology, Professor of Sociology, Mildred and Claude Pepper Chair in Social Gerontology, Florida State University)
Traces the history of the American welfare state since the launching of the "war" on poverty. The author argues that a major reason the USA has lagged behind other countries in housing, child care, welfare reform and social security is that social programmes are linked with issues of race.
