States of Dependency: Welfare, Rights, and American Governance, 1935–1972 - Studies in Legal History
Tani, Karen M. (University of California, Berkeley)
States of Dependency recounts the transformation of American poor relief in the decades spanning the New Deal and the War on Poverty. This history explains how public welfare became bureaucratized, centralized, and professionalized; how welfare rights claims materialized; and why, nonetheless, American citizenship does not guarantee a minimally adequate income.
