In Selling Welfare Reform, Frank Ridzi uses rich ethnographic detail to examine how new welfare-to-work policies, time limits, and citizenship documentation radically changed welfare, revealing what really goes on at the front lines of the reformed welfare system. Selling Welfare Reform chronicles how entrepreneurial efforts ranging from front-line caseworkers to high-level administrators set the pace for restructuring a resistant bureaucracy. At the heart of this remarkable institutional transformation is a market-centered approach to human services that re-framed the definition of success to include diversion from the present system, de-emphasis of legal protections and behavioral conditioning of poor parents to accommodate employers. Ridzi draws a compelling portrait of how welfare staff and their clients negotiate the complexities of the low wage labor market in an age of global competition, exposing the realities of how the new "common sense" of poverty is affecting the lives of poor and vulnerable Americans.Public welfareUnited StatesWelfare recipientsEmploymentGovernment policyUnited StatesPoorGovernment policyUnited StatesAmericans.Ridzi.affecting.clients.common.compelling.competition.complexities.draws.exposing.global.labor.lives.market.negotiate.poor.portrait.poverty.realities.sense.staff.their.vulnerable.wage.welfare.Public welfareWelfare recipientsEmploymentGovernment policyPoorGovernment policy362.5/5680973Ridzi Frank1583808MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778026803321Selling welfare reform3867255UNINA02776nam 2200721Ia 450 991097041630332120251116153332.09780190286446019028644X978019803239701980323909780197669457019766945X97812808350011280835001(CKB)24235093100041(NjHacI)9924235093100041(Au-PeEL)EBL430612(CaPaEBR)ebr10269152(CaONFJC)MIL83500(OCoLC)320902828(MiAaPQ)EBC430612(MiAaPQ)EBC7038831(StDuBDS)EDZ0002755326(OCoLC)44493387(FINmELB)ELB163121(Au-PeEL)EBL7038831(EXLCZ)992423509310004120000620d2001 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMakers of contemporary Islam /John L.
