The Color of Welfare - How Racism Undermined the War on Poverty

Summary

From Reconstruction to Lyndon Johnson and beyond, Jill Quadagno reveals how American social policy has continuously foundered on issues of race. She draws on extensive primary research to show how social programs became entwined with the civil rights movement and subsequently suffered by association at the hands of a white backlash.
