Description

This landmark study examines the profound impact of unemployment on American families during the 1930s and 1940s, offering a stark examination of how relief policies shaped lives during the Great Depression. Through detailed case studies of representative families across New York City, including households from diverse religious backgrounds, the work combines rigorous analysis with compelling human narratives that reveal the demoralising consequences of economic hardship. The Unemployed presents both an interpretive framework for understanding unemployment relief and a collection of absorbing personal stories that illustrate the real-world effects of Depression-era social policies. This Routledge edition preserves a critical historical perspective on American welfare systems and their impact on vulnerable populations during one of the nation's most challenging economic periods.

Key Features

The Unemployed combines incisive interpretation of unemployment relief policies with detailed case studies of representative families from the Depression era.

This Routledge classic includes absorbing human interest stories drawn from exhaustive research conducted among relief recipients in New York City.

The study encompasses families from various religious groups, providing a comprehensive cross-section of Depression-era relief experiences in America.

This historical work documents the demoralising influence and real consequences of America's relief policies during the 1930s and 1940s.

The Unemployed offers both analytical depth and accessible narrative accounts that make the human impact of unemployment vividly apparent.
