In northern California's high-tech Silicon Valley, author Daniel Dohan shows how recent immigrants get by on low-wage babysitting and dish-cleaning jobs. In the housing projects of Los Angeles, he documents how families and communities of U.S.-born Mexican Americans manage the social and economic dislocations of persistent poverty. Taking readers into worlds where public assistance, street crime, competition for low-wage jobs, and family, pride, and cross-cultural experiences intermingle, The Price of Poverty offers vivid portraits of everyday life in these Mexican American communities while addressing urgent policy questions such as: What accounts for joblessness? How can we make sense of crime in poor communities? Does welfare hurt or help? 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zSan Jose$xEconomic conditions 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zEast Los Angeles$xEconomic conditions 606 $aUrban poor$zCalifornia$zSan Jose 606 $aUrban poor$zCalifornia$zEast Los Angeles 606 $aHispanic American neighborhoods$zCalifornia$vCase studies 607 $aSan Jose (Calif.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEast Los Angeles (Calif.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aSan Jose (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aEast Los Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 610 $aamerican citizens. 610 $abarrios. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $achicano citizens. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $acontemporary america. 610 $across cultural experiences. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnographic study. 610 $afieldwork. 610 $afinancial concerns. 610 $aimpoverished communities. 610 $alatino poverty. 610 $alatinos. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $alow wage jobs. 610 $amexican american communities. 610 $amexican american culture. 610 $amexican americans. 610 $amexican immigrants. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amoney and culture. 610 $apoverty. 610 $apublic assistance. 610 $arecent immigrants. 610 $aregional survey. 610 $asilicon valley. 610 $awork culture. 610 $aworking class. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aHispanic American neighborhoods 676 $a330.9794/74/00896872 686 $aMS 3530$2rvk 700 $aDohan$b Daniel$f1965-$01504399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783200903321 996 $aThe price of poverty$93733364 997 $aUNINA
