A New Introduction to Poverty: The Role of Race, Power, and PoliticsLouis Kushnick, James Jennings Since the end of the Second World War, poverty in the United States has been a persistent focus of social anxiety, public debate, and federal policy. This volume argues convincingly that we will not be able to reduce or eliminate poverty until we take the political factors that contribute to its continuation into account. |
