Description

Explore a classic work on the history and evolution of social reform in the United States. This book provides a detailed account of the origins and development of community action, tracing its roots from the Ford Foundation Gray Area Programs and the President's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency. It examines the rise and subsequent decline of major initiatives like the War on Poverty and the Model Cities program. Through a ruthlessly impartial examination of various poverty programs, two social scientists - one British and one American - explain why programs of such massive size and complexity often face a minimal chance of success. This text offers a clear look at the realities of reform and explains how the conservatism of bureaucracy impacts social change. It is an essential read for those studying the history of social policy and the mechanics of community-based action.
