In 1964 the United States began its War on Poverty with the passing
of the Economic Opportunity Act, and in the following year Canada
announced a similar attack. Since then much has been published in
books, journals, pamphlets, and reports relating to this vital
concern. Various government departments and academic disciplines,
including anthropology, economics, education, history, law,
medicine, political science, psychiatry, psychology, public health,
religion, social work, and sociology, have examined their
relationships and involvements in the War on Poverty, and this
Bibliography lists approximately 600 published items from such
North American sources. To provide a critical overview of the
attack on poverty, Martin Rein, S.M. Miller, and Harris Chaiklin
have contributed short papers on the American experience, and B.W.
Lappin has presented the problem from the Canadian point of view.
Professor Schlesinger has outlined a Canadian profile of poverty,
together with the various anti-poverty programs suggested by the
Canadian government, since these are less well known and documented
than the American counterparts. In addition there is an appendix of
articles on poverty found in popular periodicals, and a list of
bibliographies on poverty or related topics. Teachers, students,
and professionals in the various disciplines named above will find
this bibliography valuable, and it will be of interest too to
researchers, government officials, and program planners concerned
with the War on Poverty.
