Through in-depth interviews with activists in eight organizations across the United States, Rose Ernst presents an intersectional analysis of how these activists understand the complexities of race, class and gender and how such understandings have affected their approach to their grassroots work. Engaging and accessible, The Price of Progressive Politics offers a refreshing examination of how those working for change grapple with shifting racial dynamics in the United States, arguing that organizations that fail to develop a consciousness that reflects the reality of multiple marginalized identities ultimately reproduce the societal dynamics they seek to change.Welfare rights movementUnited StatesWelfare recipientsUnited StatesPublic opinionPublic welfare in mass mediaRacismUnited StatesRacism in social servicesUnited StatesPolitics.Price.Progressive.US.arguing.change.consciousness.develop.dynamics.examination.failing.grapple.identities.marginalized.offers.organizations.racial.reality.reflects.reproduce.seek.shifting.societal.that.they.those.ultimately.with.working.Welfare rights movementWelfare recipientsPublic opinion.Public welfare in mass media.RacismRacism in social services361.6/140973Ernst Emily Rose1978-1627151MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822899803321The price of progressive politics3963586UNINA
