Many in the United States saw the welfare reforms of 1996 as the inevitable result of twelve years of conservative retrenchment in American social policy, but there is evidence that the seeds of this change were sown long before the Reagan Revolution-and not necessarily by the Right. The War on Welfare: Family, Poverty, and Politics in Modern America traces what Bill Clinton famously called "the end of welfare as we know it" to the grassroots of the War on Poverty thirty years earlier. Marshaling a broad variety of sources, historian Marisa Chappell provides a fresh look at the national debate about poverty, welfare, and economic rights from the 1960's through the mid-1990's. In Chappell's telling, we experience the debate over welfare from multiple perspectives, including those of conservatives of several types, liberal antipoverty experts, national liberal organizations, labor, government officials, feminists of various persuasions, and poor women themselves. During the Johnson and Nixon administrations, deindustrialization, stagnating wages, and widening economic inequality pushed growing numbers of wives and mothers into the workforce. Yet labor unions, antipoverty activists, and moderate liberal groups fought to extend the fading promise of the family wage to poor African Americans families through massive federal investment in full employment and income support for male breadwinners. In doing so, however, these organizations condemned programs like Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for supposedly discouraging marriage and breaking up families. Ironically their arguments paved the way for increasingly successful right-wing attacks on both "welfare" and the War on Poverty itself.Politics and culture in modern America.Aid to families with dependent children programsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPoor womenGovernment policyUnited StatesPublic welfareUnited StatesHistory20th centuryWelfare recipientsEmploymentUnited StatesAmerican History.American Studies.Political Science.Public Policy.Aid to families with dependent children programsHistoryPoor womenGovernment policyPublic welfareHistoryWelfare recipientsEmployment362.5/560973Chappell Marisa1531383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788595203321The war on welfare3777020UNINA02076nam 2200601 450 991081952600332120230617032328.00-8229-7266-2(CKB)2550000001328598(SSID)ssj0000556976(PQKBManifestationID)11333766(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000556976(PQKBWorkID)10534995(PQKB)11415878(MiAaPQ)EBC2038853(Au-PeEL)EBL2038853(CaPaEBR)ebr10902369(CaONFJC)MIL625694(OCoLC)908670907(EXLCZ)99255000000132859820040513h20042004 uy| 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrA new capitalist order privatization & ideology in Russia & Eastern Europe /Hilary AppelPittsburgh, Pennsylvania :University of Pittsburgh Press,[2004]©20041 online resource (257 pages) illustrationsPitt series in Russian and East European studiesBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-8229-5855-4 1-306-94443-0 Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-239) and index.Bringing ideology back in -- Probing the Czech and Russian cases -- Elaborating the theoretical framework.Series in Russian and East European studies.New capitalist order :privatization and ideology in Russia and Eastern EuropePrivatizationRussia (Federation)PrivatizationCzech RepublicRussia (Federation)Economic policy1991-Czech RepublicEconomic policyPrivatizationPrivatization338.947/05Appel Hilary1706004MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819526003321A new capitalist order4105798UNINA
