Comment by Alice O’Connor
When Measurements Matter
This essay explores two critical moments in the recent history of US inequality, when economic measures drew attention to gaping disparities in the American political economy: the early 1960s, when popularized social statistical reporting led to the "discovery" of, and declaration of "war" on, poverty; and the 2010s, when the "1 percent" became a potent symbol of the increasingly extreme concentration of wealth. Despite pronounced differences, bo…
Politics of the Pantry
In Politics of the Pantry Emily E. LB. Twarog follows the trail of white working-class and middle-class food politics from the 1930s to the 1970s. She argues that the meat boycotts, price protests, and truth-in-packaging campaigns featured in this history represent a distinctive strand of consumer activism, led by women who used their identity as housewives to organize grassroots protests against rising food prices and to bring the cost of living…
Toronto's Poor
Karen M. Tani, States of Dependency
In this vigorously argued book, Karen Tani offers a revisionist history of the system of federally-funded poor relief put in place by the Social Security Act of 1935 and anchored in the Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children (later Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or AFDC) programs. In Tani’s view this system was both administratively robust and expansive in its commitment to the rights of welfare recipients. It was animated by …

The Colors of Social Citizenship
In the early 1930s, with worldwide economies sinking deeper into what would become the Great Depression, upwards of 400,000 people crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. They were en route to what for most would be permanent relocation to Mexico.1 Though many traveled from established enclaves in the Midwest and Northeast, the vast majority came from the Southwest, where Mexican America was concentrated. Claims on both sides of the border to the contrar…

Poverty Knowledge
The Privatized City
This article discusses the founding of the Manhattan Institute as part of a wider mobilization of conservative ideology and activism in 1970s New York. Important to the success of this mobilization was the concerted effort to reframe the “urban crisis” as a problem of values and culture and to construct a narrative of moral decline—and ultimately of conservative redemption—based in liberal New York

Poverty Knowledge
Progressive-era "poverty warriors" cast poverty in America as a problem of unemployment, low wages, labor exploitation, and political disfranchisement. In the 1990s, policy specialists made "dependency" the issue and crafted incentives to get people off welfare. Poverty Knowledge gives the first comprehensive historical account of the thinking behind these very different views of "the poverty problem," in a century-spanning inquiry into the polit…
Poverty Research and Policy for the Post-Welfare Era
The 'end of welfare as we know it' constitutes an important challenge for poverty research, shifting the focus away from once-dominant themes of dependency and toward the reality of widespread 'working poverty.' The literature reviewed in this chapter points in the direction of a reformulated research agenda, built around issues of inequality, political economy, and stratification by gender, race, class, and place. It also calls into question the…
The False Dawn of Poor-Law Reform
In August 1969, President Richard M. Nixon approached the American people with a radical proposal to do what the federal government had never done before: guarantee a minimum level of income for every American family unable to provide one for itself. Eight years later, in August 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced a similar proposal for a federal guarantee of income, this time along with an expansion of public works jobs. Like Nixon before him…
