Many in the United States saw the welfare reforms of 1996 as the inevitable result of twelve years of conservative retrenchment in American social policy, but there is evidence that the seeds of this change were sown long before the Reagan Revolution-and not necessarily by the Right. The War on Welfare: Family, Poverty, and Politics in Modern America traces what Bill Clinton famously called "the end of welfare as we know it" to the grassroots of the War on Poverty thirty years earlier. Marshaling a broad variety of sources, historian Marisa Chappell provides a fresh look at the national debate about poverty, welfare, and economic rights from the 1960's through the mid-1990's. In Chappell's telling, we experience the debate over welfare from multiple perspectives, including those of conservatives of several types, liberal antipoverty experts, national liberal organizations, labor, government officials, feminists of various persuasions, and poor women themselves. During the Johnson and Nixon administrations, deindustrialization, stagnating wages, and widening economic inequality pushed growing numbers of wives and mothers into the workforce. Yet labor unions, antipoverty activists, and moderate liberal groups fought to extend the fading promise of the family wage to poor African Americans families through massive federal investment in full employment and income support for male breadwinners. In doing so, however, these organizations condemned programs like Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for supposedly discouraging marriage and breaking up families. Ironically their arguments paved the way for increasingly successful right-wing attacks on both "welfare" and the War on Poverty itself. 410 0$aPolitics and culture in modern America. 606 $aAid to families with dependent children programs$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoor women$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWelfare recipients$xEmployment$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAid to families with dependent children programs$xHistory 615 0$aPoor women$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPublic welfare$xHistory 615 0$aWelfare recipients$xEmployment 676 $a362.5/560973 700 $aChappell$b Marisa$01055076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463373903321 996 $aThe war on welfare$92488198 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03806nam 2200529 450 001 9910149430203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4426-5328-0 010 $a1-4426-3782-X 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442653283 035 $a(CKB)3710000000929667 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4730304 035 $a(DE-B1597)479395 035 $a(OCoLC)992507156 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442653283 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4730304 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11292465 035 $a(OCoLC)962452686 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000929667 100 $a20161110e19701954 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aCanadian municipal government /$fby Kenneth Grant Crawford 210 1$aToronto, [Ontario] :$cUniversity of Toronto Press,$d1970. 210 4$dİ1954 215 $a1 online resource (423 pages) $cillustrations, tables 225 1 $aCanadian Government Series ;$v6 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-4426-3951-2 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tForeword -- $tPreface -- $tContents -- $tAppendices -- $tTables -- $tChapter I.

Yet the Canadian student will find studies of Canadian local government almost non-existent. Similarly the citizen or municipal officer looking for details of the organization and operation of the several systems of local government in Canada needs, but has not yet had, one single source with all the information on the subject gathered together in readily available form. Mr. Crawford meets both needs in his excellent study, the sixth volume in the Canadian Government Series. Since local government in Canada comes under provincial jurisdiction, there are ten distinct systems having many similarities and diversities. Mr. Crawford's aim is to show how various Canadian municipal systems function, rather than to present a critical analysis of existing institutions and practices. But first he discusses the necessity of local government, its practical and political importance, the degree of self-government involved in local government and the factors contributing to this, and the weak constitutional position of local government, a position offset by the needs of the community, needs which can be best met by local government and which assure the continuance of that government despite the tightening of central control by province and nation. 410 0$aCanadian government series ;$v6. 606 $aMunicipal government$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMunicipal government 676 $a352.0080971 700 $aCrawford$b Kenneth Grant$0237660 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149430203321 996 $aCanadian municipal government$92218094 997 $aUNINA
