Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standards of Public Aid to Children in Their Own Homes In each place' studied, with one exception, the records of all families receiving aid at the time were examined, schedules1 being filled out for each family. The case worker was then consulted, and additional information was secured from her. In Boston, data were Obtained for only a selected number of the families, the total number being too large for inclusion in this study. A smaller group of. Families was chosen in each place for intensive study, with Special reference to standards of living. This smaller group was selected from the families then receiving aid who had been getting it long enough to have become adjusted to their incomes and to the requirements of the supervisory agent. One year of receiving relief was regarded as sufficient for this purpose, although two years were preferred where the work had been going on under the existing plans for a period sufficiently long to furnish enough families on that basis. A full list of current cases in which the aid had been granted for the chosen period was first secured. From this were eliminated those unsuitable for the purpose of ascertaining the standard of living, such as families living with relatives and not maintaining their own homes; those whose incomes were indeterminate or irregular to an unusual extent; those in which the mothers could speak no English or from whom for other reasons it was found too difficult to secure information; and those presenting behavior difficulties. Since it was usually impossible to visit all the families in the resultant list those to be intensively studied were then chosen so that they would be representative of the different elements of the population, the varying compositions of families, and the geographical distribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assuming that "marginal" citizens cannot govern their own lives, proponents of the therapeutic state urge casework intervention to reshape the attitudes and behaviors of those who live outside the social mainstream. Thus the victims of poverty, delinquency, family violence, and other problems are to be "normalized." But "normalize," to Andrew Polsky, is a term that "jars the ear, as well it should when we consider what this effort is all about." Here he investigates the broad network of public agencies that adopt the casework approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entering the vigorous debate about the nature of the American welfare state, The Wages of Motherhood illuminates ways in which a "maternalist" social policy emerged from the crucible of gender and racial politics between the world wars. Gwendolyn Mink here examines the cultural dynamics of maternalist social policy, which have often been overlooked by institutional and class analyses of the welfare state. Mink maintains that the movement for welfare provisions, while resulting in important gains, reinforced existing patterns of gender and racial inequality. She explores how AngloAmerican women reformers, as they gained increasing political recognition, promoted an ideology of domesticity that became the core of maternalist social policy. Focusing on reformers such as Jane Addams, Grace Abbott, Katherine Lenroot, and Frances Perkins, Mink shows how they helped shape a social policy premised on moral character and cultural conformity rather than universal entitlement. According to Mink, commitments to a gendered and racialized ideology of virtuous citizenship led women's reform organizations in the United States to support welfare policies that were designed to uplift and regulate motherhood and thus to reform the cultural character of citizens. The upshot was a welfare agenda that linked maternity with dependency, poverty with cultural weakness, and need with moral failing. Relegating poor women and racial minorities to dependent status, maternalist policy had the effect of stengthening ideological and institutional forms of subordination. In Mink's view, the legacy of this benevolent—and invidious—policy contimies to inflect thinking about welfare reform today.
