Overview

Explore the systemic conditions that are responsible for poverty and inequality in the United States! This vital book explores recent research on poverty and inequality, identifies strategies for ensuring adequate services and challenges many of the inaccurate beliefs that were used to justify welfare reform legislation in 1996. This book includes up-to-date information on various marginalised groups and their social problems, including lack of health coverage for women with mental health, substance abuse, and domestic violence problems. In addition readers will find data on the health coverage situation for the poor, for Appalachians and for women in general. Finally, Rediscovering the Other America suggests strategies for changing public perception about the nature of poverty and the poor.
