How has the U.S. dealt, throughout its long history, with one of
the world's oldest problems? Although poverty has always been part
of the human experience, societal reactions and responses to it
have been as varied as the condition has been static. Poverty in
America has its own turbulent history of causes, effects, and
remedies, from debtor's prison to the War on Poverty, from Social
Darwinism to Food Stamps. This in-depth encyclopedia covers the
entire history of American poverty from all angles--historical,
social, cultural, political, spiritual, and literary. How has
poverty been defined in America? What has been done to prevent it?
How have minority groups been affected? How has the church reacted?
And what, if anything, can be done to eliminate it? Poverty in
America covers these issues in vivid detail, from the colonial
period to the Industrial Revolution to the global economy of the
21st century. Entries include: Affirmative Action American Indians
and Poverty Drugs, Alcohol, and the Poor Equal Employment
Opportunity The Grapes of Wrath Head Start No Child Left Behind
Protest Movements Welfare State Impactful primary document excerpts
from key periods throughout American history are also included,
providing firsthand accounts from all sides of the issue. A
chronology of events and an extensive bibliography round out this
fascinating work.
