Taylor & Francis Welfare Racism
Book SynopsisA powerful expose of a deeply-rooted but woefully ignored form of racial blindness, Welfare Racism is an important first step toward more humane and rational policies for the men, women, and children who have been ravaged by the current system.Trade Review"It is a powerful expose of a deeply-rooted form of racism that hits poor people in general, not just those of color...These engaged scholars clearly tell us all to open our eyes wide." -- Multidiversity"Welfare Racism shows the ways racist attitudes and administrative policies and practices have long undermined public assistance programs...More than most academic researchers who deal with welfare reform, Neubeck and Cazenave ask a range of critical political and moral questions about the meaning of welfare reform that moves the reader to wonder about who we are as a nation and what policymakers think about women, people of color, the poor, and the near poor...Welfare Racism is a well-documented study that show how welfare policy can be understood in connection with racialized public assistance attitudes, policymaking, and administrative practices that function to maintain white economic advantages over blacks." -- Contemporary Sociology 31, 4"Few social welfare scholars have provided a fully race-centered perspective on U.S. welfare policy. Neubeck and Cazenave's well-documented and readable study takes a giant step toward filling this unforgivable gap-without ignoring the dynamics of gender and class...The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand but also to change U.S. public policy." -- Mimi Abramovitz, author of Under Attack, Fighting Back: Women and Welfare in theUnited States"Welfare racism is an important book. It forces the reader to rethink the contemporary history of welfare policy..This is a book that effectively brings to the surface the discriminatory nature of allegedly neutral social policies. And that is not just good scholarship; it is a significant public service." -- Sanford F. Schram, author of After Welfare: The Culture ofPostindustrial Social Policy"[A] bracing and illuminating analysis that should change the way we think about American welfare policy..Neubeck and Cazenave show definitively that the politics of welfare cannot be explained unless we attend to contemporary racism." -- Francis Fox Piven, author of TheBreaking of the American Social Compact"Whites have long believed that most welfare recipients and most poor people are black. Such myths are so stereotyped, irrational, and off the mark that they cry out for deeper structural and cultural analysis-which is provided with great depth and thoroughness in this momentous book. Bravo to this first comprehensive analysis of welfare racism in the United States!" -- Joe R. Feagin, Professor of Sociology, University of Florida"[T]his is an important book which deserves to be widely read and discussed. It certainly succeeds in drawing attention to the on-going role of race in welfare policy." -- Journal of Sociology and Social WelfareTable of ContentsChapter 1 Seeing Welfare Racism; Chapter 2 Conceptualizing “Welfare Racism”; Chapter 3 Welfare Racism in the Early Years of Public Assistance; Chapter 4 Welfare Racism as a Defense Against Challenges to White Supremacy; Chapter 5 The Demise of AFDC as a Legacy of White Racial Backlash; Chapter 6 Welfare Reform as Race Population Control; Chapter 7 After AFDC and the Return of States’ Rights-Era Welfare Racism; Chapter 8 Confronting Welfare Racism;

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Formulation of Local Housing Strategies A
Book SynopsisHousing provision is a major dilemma for local authorities. There is currently a huge demand for more housing, while increasing environmental, economic and political pressures must be considered when local authorities develop their policies. This remarkable volume investigates how local authorities formulate their housing strategies. It questions whether the local authority can be seen as a single entity in terms of housing or whether it is fragmented into separate departments. Incorporating in-depth empirical research from England and Wales, the book discusses whether the process of developing housing policy and allocating land needs to be more integrated, and whether key players such as speculative house-builders should be involved in the development of policy. Analyzing which information sources influence the local authority's land allocations and housing strategies, the volume debates whether they provide the most useful data and suggests alternative information sources that mTrade Review’There is a growing realization that in order to develop effective housing strategies local authorities, in their enabling role, need to understand the housing market in which they operate. This book provides an excellent analysis of the extent to which local housing strategies take account of local housing markets, together with an examination of the inter-relationships between housing and planning departments in devising and implementing such strategies. With its examination of current trends in private sector house building, it will be of great interest to academics and practitioners concerned with this vital area of contemporary policy.’ Alan Hooper, Professor of Housing and Planning, Cardiff University, UK 'An excellent analysis gives perspective for rational sustainable housing policies.' Built Environment 'Chris Nicol's new book is a clearly written guide to many of the conceptual and practical matters associated with the formularation of housing strategies within the English context...therefore a useful practical guide that can inform officers embarking on housing stategy development.' Journal of Housing and Built EnvironmentTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Housing supply and the housing market; Demand for housing; The development of local authority housing strategies and joint housing studies; Indicators of housing demand; The use of data by local authorities in England and Wales; Housing strategy development at the local level; Concluding comments; Bibliography.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Housing Change in East and Central Europe
Book SynopsisTen years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, patterns of change to the former communist nations of Europe are now discernible in a way that was impossible to see in the initial years. This insightful book focuses on the case of changes in housing based on evidence collected from across the Central and Eastern European region. The volume adopts a conceptual framework and provides cross-regional analysis, amongst which is situated a series of more focused case studies. Issues examined include the consequences of the rapid privatization of state rental housing including the emergence of ''super-owner-occupied'' countries, dramatic changes in urban structure and evidence that housing, having been the shock absorber against which wider economic restructuring has occurred, now faces a whole series of deferred problems. The enthusiasm with which the market economy was initially embraced must now be tempered by a more sober assessment of what in reality has happened.Trade Review’...this volume provides sobering lessons in what to do and not do in transforming any state-directed housing system into a market-based system. The volume should be on the shelf of all housing analysts and policy-makers in both the developed and developing worlds and in international agencies dealing with housing programmes.’ Professor Larry S. Bourne, University of Toronto, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: housing in post-Communist Europe - issues and agendas. Comparative Perspectives on Housing Reforms: Housing reforms and market performance, Robert M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Green History of the Welfare State
Book SynopsisEnvironmental problems particularly climate change have become increasingly important to governments and social researchers in recent decades. Debates about their implications for social policies and welfare reforms are now moving towards centre stage. What has been missing from such debates is an account of the history of the welfare state in relation to environmental issues and green ideas.A Green History of the Welfare State fills this gap. How have the environmental and social policy agendas developed? To what extent have welfare systems been informed by the principles of environmental ethics and politics? How effective has the welfare state been at addressing environmental problems? How might the history of social policies be reimagined? With its lively, chronological narrative, this book provides answers to these questions. Through overviews of key periods, politicians and reforms the book weaves together a range of subjects into a new kind of historicalTable of ContentsIntroduction Made of Coal and Surrounded by Fish: 1945-51 A Final Farewell: 1951-55 An Impenetrable Fog: 1952-64 Upheavals: 1964-70 Crises of Power: 1970-74 The Party is Over: 1974-79 The Soul of a Marketplace: 1979-87 Venus in Capitalist Furs: 1987-90 The Long Shadows: 1990-97 New Dawn, New Politics, New Britain: 1997-2001 Fixing the Planet: 1997-2005 Crashing and Burning: 2005-10 Conclusion
