Prior to the emergence of the formal US welfare state, textual projects-from documentary photographs to insurance claims-contributed to the idea that individuals must be engaged in work to deserve social welfare. Progressive charity reformers and advocates of Black industrial education pushed for social welfare reforms to make people with disabilities, poor people, people of color, and incarcerated people into wage-earning citizens. Carmody shows how the bootstrap narrative, Taylorist studies of labor, and nineteenth-century ideas of race and disability fed into a specific ideology about labor-particularly, that someone's willingness to work could be scientifically measured and systematically evaluated-that continues to shape US welfare policy today."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWelfare recipients$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWork$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aPeople with disabilities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 615 0$aPublic welfare$xHistory. 615 0$aWelfare recipients$xHistory. 615 0$aWork$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions. 676 $a361.973 686 $aSOC029000$aSOC001000$2bisacsh 700 $aCarmody$b Todd$f1979-$01276910 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647295403321 996 $aWork requirements$93009517 997 $aUNINA
