Locked in the Poorhouse Cities, Race, and Poverty in the United States

Poverty in the United States is worse than it was 30 years ago when the original Kerner Commission Report was issued: The poor get poorer even in the midst of a U.S. economic boom, the country is resegregating, and poor African-Americans and Hispanics are becoming concentrated in cities from which it is even harder to escape. This book shows what works and what doesn't in dealing with these problems and offers practical policy recommendations for changing America's present course.Harris, Fred R. is the author of 'Locked in the Poorhouse Cities, Race, and Poverty in the United States' with ISBN 9780742509047 and ISBN 0742509044.
