This book helps correct that imbalance. Using Richmond, Virginia, as an example, Elna C. Green looks at issues and trends related to two centuries of relief for the needy and dependent in the urban South. Throughout, she links her findings to the larger narrative of welfare history in the United States. She ties social-welfare policy in the South to other southern histories, showing how each period left its own mark on policies and their implementation ? from colonial poor laws to homes for children orphaned in the Civil War to the New Deal's public works projects.Green also covers the South's ongoing urbanization and industrialization, the selective application of social services along racial and gender lines, debates over the ""deserving"" and ""undeserving"" poor, the professionalization of social work, and the lasting effects of New Deal money and regulations on the region.This groundbreaking study sheds light on a variety of key public and private welfare issues--in history and in the present, and in terms of welfare recipients and providers.Sprache: EnglischAnzahl der Seiten: 362Herstellungsland und -region: USHöhe: 229mmLänge: 152mmGewicht: 715gTitle Format: Gebundene Ausgabe Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: This Business of Relief, Subtitle: Confronting Poverty in a Southern City, 1740-1940, EAN: 9780820352633, Genre: Society & Culture, Thematik: History, Release date: 30/04/2017, Anzahl der Seiten: 362, Herstellungsland und -region: US, Höhe: 229mm, Länge: 152mm, Gewicht: 715g, University of Georgia Press<
