"I Trust My Mother and No One Else": Trust and Distrust in Social Networks -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Research Methods -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexAin't No Trust explores issues of trust and distrust among low-income women in the U.S.-at work, around childcare, in their relationships, and with caseworkers-and presents richly detailed evidence from in-depth interviews about our welfare system and why it's failing the very people it is designed to help. By comparing low-income mothers' experiences before and after welfare reform, Judith A. Levine probes women's struggles to gain or keep jobs while they simultaneously care for their children, often as single mothers. By offering a new way to understand how structural factors impact the daily experiences of poor women, Ain't No Trust highlights the pervasiveness of distrust in their lives, uncovering its hidden sources and documenting its most corrosive and paralyzing effects. Levine's critique and conclusions hold powerful implications for scholars and policymakers alike.  Low-income single mothers -- Employment -- United StatesLow-income single mothers -- Services for -- United StatesLow-income single mothers -- United States -- Social conditionsLow-income single mothersSocial conditionsUnited StatesLow-income single mothersEmploymentUnited StatesLow-income single mothersServices forUnited StatesSociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCFamily & MarriageHILCCElectronic books.Low-income single mothers -- Employment -- United States.Low-income single mothers -- Services for -- United States.Low-income single mothers -- United States -- Social conditions.Low-income single mothersSocial conditionsLow-income single mothersEmploymentLow-income single mothersServices forSociology & Social HistorySocial SciencesFamily & Marriage306.87432086942Levine Judith, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1053314DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910452265403321Ain't No Trust2485159UNINA
