Synopsis

Crouse, Joan M.

Review

“A first-rate piece of work that makes significant scholarly contributions. It is not only an important piece of social history for the depression decade, but has considerable implications for the present day when transient problems are still with us.” ― Frank Freidel, University of Washington

“It is solid, clearly written and usefully fills in a piece of welfare policy history which remains interesting and significant. The author has searched diligently, found the relevant material, made the appropriate connections.” ― Alfred J. Kahn, Columbia University School of Social Work
