Nearly one in four low-income families enroll a child in an after-school program. Beyond sharpening students? math and reading skills, these programs also have a profound impact on parents. In a surprising turn?especially given the long history of social policies that leave recipients feeling policed, distrusted, and alienated?government-funded after-school programs have quietly become powerful forces for political and civic engagement by shifting power away from bureaucrats and putting it back into the hands of parents. In State of Empowerment Carolyn Barnes uses ethnographic accounts of three organizations to reveal how interacting with government-funded after-school programs can enhance the civic and political lives of low-income citizens. 606 $aAfter school programs$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation$zUnited States 606 $aLow-income students$zUnited States 606 $aLow-income parents$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aLow-income parents$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aWelfare state$zUnited States 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aAfter school programs$xSocial aspects 615 0$aChildren with social disabilities$xEducation 615 0$aLow-income students 615 0$aLow-income parents$xPolitical activity 615 0$aLow-income parents$xEmployment 615 0$aWelfare state 676 $a371.04 700 $aBarnes$b Carolyn$f1987-$0993511 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372745503321 996 $aState of empowerment$92274920 997 $aUNINA
