Bullard analyzes the discourse of child welfare advocates who argued for the notion of a racialized ideal child. This ideal child, limited to white, often native-born children, was at the center of arguments for material support to children and education for their parents. This text illuminates important limitations in the Progressive approach to social welfare and helps to explain the current dearth of support for poor children. </spChild welfareUnited StatesHistoryImmigrant childrenServices forUnited StatesHistoryPoor childrenServices forUnited StatesHistoryChildren of minoritiesServices forUnited StatesHistoryRacismUnited StatesHistoryChild welfareHistory.Immigrant childrenServices forHistory.Poor childrenServices forHistory.Children of minoritiesServices forHistory.RacismHistory.362.70973Bullard Katharine S.1974-1711957MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820710303321Civilizing the child4103691UNINA
