For, SenGupta argues, the language and institutions of poor relief and reform have historically served as forums for inventing and negotiating identity.Mining a broad array of sources on nineteenth-century New York City’s interlocking network of private benevolence and municipal relief, SenGupta shows that these institutions promoted a racialized definition of poverty and citizenship. But they also offered a framework within which working poor New Yorkers—recently freed slaves and disfranchised free blacks, Afro-Caribbean sojourners and Irish immigrants, sex workers and unemployed laborers, and mothers and children—could challenge stereotypes and offer alternative visions of community. Thus, SenGupta argues, long before the advent of the twentieth-century welfare state, the discourse of welfare in its nineteenth-century incarnation created a space to talk about community, race, and nation; about what it meant to be “American,” who belonged, and who did not. Her work provides historical context for understanding why today the notion of "welfare"—with all its derogatory “un-American” connotations—is associated not with middle-class entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, but rather with programs targeted at the poor, which are wrongly assumed to benefit primarily urban African Americans.Public welfareNew York (State)New YorkHistoryAfrican AmericansNew York (State)New YorkHistoryElectronic books.Public welfareHistory.African AmericansHistory.362.5/570890097471SenGupta Gunja1036973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454000803321From slavery to poverty2457621UNINA00997cam0 2200277 450 E60020003851420230728073028.020080707d1974 |||||ita|0103 baitaITStrutture - linguaggi- sintassiuna introduzioneFabrizio Luccio2 ed.TorinoBoringhieri1974212 p., fig.20 cmTesti e manuali della scienza contemporaneaSerie di informatica001LAEC000248262001 *Testi e manuali della scienza contemporanea.
