Arguing that people of color are most often the casualties in the
governments' desire to roll back the welfare state, this analysis
delves into the current myths and stereotypes about racial
difference. In exploring such myths in conjunction with the
enforcement of welfare fraud policies, this study shows how people
of color are constructed as potential "cheaters" and "abusers" of
the system, and how this has allowed for the stigmatizing and
discriminatory treatment of certain races to persist unchallenged.
With an analysis of the criminalization and penalization of
poverty--including the increased surveillance and control of
welfare recipients--this argument sheds new light on the
perspectives of poverty advocates.
