In this eye-opening analysis, Erica Kohl-Arenas bores deeply into how these issues play out in California's Central Valley, which is one of the wealthiest agricultural production regions in the world and also home to the poorest people in the United States. Through the lens of a provocative set of case studies, The Self-Help Myth reveals how philanthropy maintains systems of inequality by attracting attention to the behavior of poor people while shifting the focus away from structural inequities and relationships of power that produce poverty. In Fresno County, for example, which has a$5.6 billion-plus agricultural industry, migrant farm workers depend heavily on food banks, religious organizations, and family networks to feed and clothe their families. Foundation professionals espouse well-intentioned, hopeful strategies to improve the lives of the poor. These strategies contain specific ideas-in philanthropy terminology, "theories of change"- that rely on traditional American ideals of individualism and hard work, such as self-help, civic participation, and mutual prosperity. But when used in partnership with well-defined limits around what foundations will and will not fund, these ideals become fuzzy concepts promoting professional and institutional behaviors that leave relationships of poverty and inequality untouched. 410 0$aPoverty, Interrupted ;$v1. 606 $aFarmers$zCalifornia$zCentral Valley (Valley) 606 $aCharities$zCalifornia$zCentral Valley (Valley)$vCase studies 606 $aPoverty$zCalifornia$zCentral Valley (Valley) 606 $aImmigrants$zCalifornia$zCentral Valley (Valley) 607 $aCalifornia$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aCalifornia$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFarmers 615 0$aCharities 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aImmigrants 676 $a362.5/57097945 700 $aKohl-Arenas$b Erica$f1968-$01044072 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460567403321 996 $aThe self-help myth$92469475 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01933nas 2200625-- 450 001 9910140251203321 005 20241028213016.0 011 $a1980-6221 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2633066-0 035 $a(CKB)110976725706664 035 $a(CONSER)---41022121- 035 $a(DcWaBHL)107713 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110976725706664 100 $a20761029a19359999 -b- b 101 0 $apor 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 02$aO Biológico 210 $aSão Paulo, Brasil$cInstituto Biológico 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aEditors: -Aug. 1946, J.R.
