Description

Single motherhood, poverty, and welfare dependence are key research topics for social scientists. Research on urban poverty focuses primarily on nonwhite mothers on welfare in inner cities, thus rendering white mothers on welfare invisible. This ethnographic study makes white single mothers on welfare visible, and compares their experiences to those of their black and Puerto Rican counterparts. Specifically, it identifies how race/ethnicity, class, and gender intersect and pave the different pathways women follow into single motherhood and poverty. Second, it examines the role of gender, race/ethnicity, and class in confining women in the secondary labor market, thus reproducing their poverty. Third, it reveals the workings of the welfare system as a ¿street-level bureaucracy¿ by exploring the daily encounters between workers and clients. This study, conducted at a time when groundbreaking welfare policy changes were taking place, also addresses the impact of these changes on single mother's lives. Therefore, in addition to urban sociologists and researchers of poverty, gender, and social inequality, this book will be of interest to welfare policy makers and administrators.
