Race and the War on Poverty - From Watts to East L.a.

Informationen zum Autor Robert Bauman is Associate Professor of History at Washington State University, Tri-Cities. He lives in Richland, Washington. Klappentext President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty did more than offer aid to needy Americans; in some cities, it also sparked both racial conflict and cooperation. Race and the War on Poverty examines the African American and Mexican American community organizations in Los Angeles that emerged to implement War on Poverty programs. It explores how organizers applied democratic vision and political savvy to community action, and how the ongoing African American, Chicano, and feminist movements in turn shaped the contours of the War on Poverty's goals, programs, and cultural identity.
