Dána-Ain Davis profiles twenty-two women, thirteen of whom are Black, living in a battered women's shelter in a small city in upstate New York. She explores the contradictions between welfare reform's supposed success in moving women off of public assistance and toward economic self-sufficiency and the consequences welfare reform policy has presented for Black women fleeing domestic violence. Focusing on the intersection of poverty, violence, and race, she demonstrates the differential treatment that Black and White women face in their entanglements with the welfare bureaucracy by linking those entanglements to the larger political economy of a small city, neoliberal social policies, and racialized ideas about Black women as workers and mothers. 410 0$aSUNY series in African American studies. 606 $aAbused women$zUnited States 606 $aWelfare recipients$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American women 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States 615 0$aAbused women 615 0$aWelfare recipients 615 0$aAfrican American women. 615 0$aPublic welfare 676 $a362.5/5680820973 700 $aDavis$b Dana-Ain$f1958-$01124477 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968421703321 996 $aBattered Black women and welfare reform$94347812 997 $aUNINA
