The relationship between welfare and racial inequality has long been understood as a fight between liberal and conservative forces. Mary Poole challenges this basic assumption. Meticulously reconstructing the behind-the-scenes politicking that gave birth to the 1935 Social Security Act, Poole demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers - both liberal and conservative - shared an interest in preserving white race privilege. Although northern white liberals were theoretically sympathetic to the plight of African Americans, Poole says, their primary aim was to save the American economy by salvaging the pride of America's ""essential"" white male industrial workers. The liberal framers of the Social Security Act elevated the status of Unemployment Insurance and Social Security - and the white workers they were designed to serve - by differentiating them from welfare programs, which served black workers. Revising the standard story of the racialized politics of Roosevelt's New Deal, Poole's arguments also reshape our understanding of the role of public policy in race relations in the twentieth century, laying bare the assumptions that must be challenged if we hope to put an end to racial inequality in the twenty-first.

In this second volume of Conferences to the Congregation of the Mission, given by Saint Vincent de Paul during the last two years of his life, he continues his instructions to his Priests and Brothers. Conscious of his advancing age and the need to consolidate his Little Company in its original spirit, he speaks with great conviction, based on his own faith and experience, of the virtues required and the vices to be avoided in order to preserve for posterity the primary goal of the Congregation. This he does especially in a series of talks on the explanation of the Common Rules. The first of that series, "The Purpose of the Congregation of the Mission," is considered by some to be his "spiritual testament" to his confreres.

Although these conferences are couched in the language of the day, Vincent's thinking is founded on the timeless teachings of the Gospel. His words have a prophetic message today for every apostolic Community striving to bring the "Good News" to the poor.
