Using a compelling mix of archival, interview, and ethnographic data, Lynne Haney shows that three distinct welfare regimes succeeded one another during that period and that they were based on divergent conceptions of need. The welfare society of 1948-1968 targeted social institutions, the maternalist welfare state of 1968-1985 targeted social groups, and the liberal welfare state of 1985-1996 targeted impoverished individuals. Because they reflected contrasting conceptions of gender and of state-recognized identities, these three regimes resulted in dramatically different lived experiences of welfare. Haney's approach bridges the gaps in scholarship that frequently separate past and present, ideology and reality, and state policies and local practices. A wealth of case histories gleaned from the archives of welfare institutions brings to life the interactions between caseworkers and clients and the ways they changed over time. In one of her most provocative findings, Haney argues that female clients' ability to use the state to protect themselves in everyday life diminished over the fifty-year period. As the welfare system moved away from linking entitlement to clients' social contributions and toward their material deprivation, the welfare system, and those associated with it, became increasingly stigmatized and pathologized. With its focus on shifting inventions of the needy, this broad historical ethnography brings new insights to the study of welfare state theory and politics.Gender and the politics of welfare in HungaryPublic welfareHungaryHistoryWomenHungarySocial conditionsHungarySocial conditions1945-1989HungarySocial conditions1989-HungarySocial policy1948.1968.1985.anthropology.archives.case histories.ethnographers.ethnography.europe.gender identities.gender issues.historical ethnography.hungary.ideological.impoverished peoples.interviews.liberal.materialism.modern history.motherhood.need.nonfiction.policies in practice.political perspective.political science.political theory.poverty.social groups.social institutions.textbooks.welfare policies.welfare society.welfare state theory.welfare systems.world history.Public welfareHistory.WomenSocial conditions.362.5/09493Haney Lynne A(Lynne Allison),1967-1532031MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783063103321Inventing the needy3778040UNINA
