Nor do most of them believe that there is a viable solution to poverty through public actionthe findings in this book throw light on one reason for the relative ineffectiveness of poverty reduction strategies hitherto, and the huge importance of presenting the problem of poverty in ways that fit more closely with the ways in which national elites understand their worldremarkably, in the rapidly growing literature on poverty, this volume is the first to use survey techniques to explore third world elites' attitudes to povertyoxfam bookshop hove the researchers who have written this volume are clear not only that mass poverty is still the leading humanitarian crisis in developing countries, but that, if effective policies are to be put in place, the national elites who control governments and economies need to be convinced of both the reasons why reducing poverty is in their own and the national interest, and that public action can make a differencewhile the authors found major differences in how national elites understand and represent poverty, the classic threats that induced elites in late 19th century europe to be concerned with reducing poverty - the fear of crime, epidemics, military weakness or political unrest - do not feature prominently in the consciousness of most third world elitesfive cases - intended to be broadly representative of the diversity of situations in developing countries - were chosen: brazil, south africa, the philippines, bangladesh and haitisee oxfam website for delivery information read more

Some critics have explained the failure of social programs by citing our tradition of individual freedom and libertarian values, while others point to weaknesses within the working classthe color of welfare reveals the root cause of this failure-the inability to address racial inequalitydrawing on extensive primary research, quadagno shows, for instance, how roosevelt, in need of support from southern congressmen, excluded african americans from the core programs of the social security actat the same time, affirmative action clashed openly with organized labor, and equal housing raised protests from the white suburban middle-class, who didn't want their neighborhoods integratedoxfam bookshop hove thirty years after lyndon johnson declared a war on poverty, the united states still lags behind most western democracies in national welfare systems, lacking such basic programs as national health insurance and child care support" yet instead of finally instituting full democratic rights for all its citizens, the policies enacted in that turbulent decade failed dismallyin the color of welfare, jill quadagno takes exception to these claims, placing race at the centre of the "american dilemma," as swedish economist gunnar myrdal did half a century agoquadagno shows that nixon, who initially supported many of johnson's programs, eventually caught on that the white middle class was disenchantedin the s, the united states embarked on a journey to resolve the "american dilemmajob training programs, for instance, became affirmative action programs, programs to improve housing became programs to integrate housing, programs that began as community action to upgrade the quality of life in the cities were taken over by local civil rights groupsfrom reconstruction to lyndon johnson and beyond, quadagno reveals how american social policy has continually foundered on issues of racehe realized that his grand plan for welfare reform, the family assistance plan, threatened to undermine wages in the south and alienate the republican party's new constituency-white, southern democrats-and therefore dropped itsee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe "american creed" of liberty, justice, and equality clashed with a history of active racial discrimination, says quadagnothis shift of emphasis eventually alienated white, working-class americans, who had some of the same needs-for health care, subsidized housing, and job training opportunities-but who got very little from these programsturning to lyndon johnson's "unconditional war on poverty," she contends that though anti-poverty programs for job training, community action, health care, housing, and education have accomplished much, they have not been fully realized because they became inextricably intertwined with the civil rights movement of the s, which triggered a white backlashit is racism that has undermined the war on poverty, and america must come to terms with this history if there is to be any hope of addressing welfare reform today
