Welfare has been central to a number of significant political
debates in modern America:
- What role should the government play in alleviating
poverty?
- What does a government owe its citizens, and who is entitled to
help?
- How have race and gender shaped economic opportunities and
outcomes?
- How should Americans respond to increasing rates of single
parenthood?
- How have poor women sought to shape their own lives and
influence government policies?
With a comprehensive introduction and a well-chosen collection
of primary documents, Welfare in the United States chronicles the
major turning points in the seventy-year history of Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC). Illuminating policy debates,
shifting demographics, institutional change, and the impact of
social movements, this book serves as an essential guide to the
history of the nation's most controversial welfare program.
