So now Mr. President, we are looking for something : African Americans, the Social Security Act, and the Great Depression -- The not-so-solid South : southern Democrats in Congress -- Colorblind public policy : the staff of the Committee on Economic Security -- Shaky ground : Black and interracial organizations -- Gender and the white united front : the women of the federal Children's Bureau -- Conclusion : those old discriminatory practices. |
| Summary |
The relationship between welfare and racial inequality has long been understood as a fight between liberal and conservative forces. The author challenges this basic assumption. She demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers shared an interest in preserving white race privilege. |
