Description Glenn David Mackin explores disability rights groups and welfare rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s and argues that those designated as needy or incompetent often challenge these designations, generating new ways of understanding 'participating' and 'equality', as well as making the issue of welfare an ongoing conflict.
Publisher Description
The Politics of Social Welfare in America examines how politicians, theorists and citizens discuss need, welfare and disability with respect to theoretical and political projects. Glenn David Mackin argues that participants in these discussions often miss the way their perceptions of those in need shape their discourse. Professor Mackin also explores disability rights groups and welfare rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s to examine the ways that those designated as needy or incompetent often challenge these designations, thus making the issue of welfare an ongoing conflict over who counts as competent and generating new ways of understanding democracy and equality.
