Highly recommended. --S. Pressman, Monmouth University (NJ), Choice, 3/1/2003 Owning Up: Poverty, Assets, and the American Dream will be a handy addition to the library of just about anyone who has an interest in the thorny question of how we provide assistance to the poor without delivering it in the now universally disparaged form of the 'government handout.' --Thomas Yantek, Kent State, Perspectives on Political Science Miller-Adams has done excellent research and written a book that succeeds in its mission... Owning Up should be a valuable addition to reading selections in the community development area, and I recommend it to those planning academicians and practitioners who want an overview of this new approach to empowerment. --Jan S. Wells, Rutgers University, Journal of the American Planning Association, 9/1/2003
