Sommario/riassunto: | The relationship between welfare and racial inequality has long been understood as a fight between liberal and conservative forces. The author challenges this basic assumption. She demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers shared an interest in preserving white race privilege. |
