Glenn David Mackin argues that participants in these discussions often miss the way their perceptions of those in need shape their discourse. Professor Mackin also explores disability rights groups and welfare rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s to examine the ways that those designated as needy or incompetent often challenge these designations, thus making the issue of welfare an ongoing conflict over who counts as competent and generating new ways of understanding democracy and equality.Public welfareUnited StatesPoorGovernment policyUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesUnited StatesPeople with disabilitiesGovernment policyUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial policyPublic welfarePoorGovernment policyPeople with disabilitiesPeople with disabilitiesGovernment policy361.60973POL010000bisacshMackin Glenn David1665313UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910819852403321The politics of social welfare in America4023860UNINA
