Описание: What is poverty? Who is at risk? What myths about poverty are pervasive in the United States?

This textbook, the first of its kind, explores the contemporary realities and perceptions of poverty. It captures the historical realities since Colonial times as well as addresses the contemporary realities, focusing on current trends in the United States, including the Great Recession, which began in 2007, leaving many middle-class families in poverty or vulnerable to harsh economic conditions and a sluggish recovery.

The book presents readers with balanced coverage regarding the multidimensional issues related to poverty and social inequity, while exploring issues related to social injustice. The authors bring together theoretical, empirical, and clinical knowledge using reader friendly and jargon free language to discuss public and private approaches to reducing poverty and examine how public opinion drives policies. Professors Giffords and Garber challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding poverty, focusing attention on at-risk populations. These include people who are homeless, persons with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, individuals with co-occurring disorders, and veterans and military families. The format of the book provides case studies which cover micro, macro and mezzo practice. The action item chapter offers readers an opportunity to effectuate change locally and can be utilized in colleges, universities and among new and experienced professionals alike.
