Description: This Business of Relief : Confronting Poverty in a Southern City, 1, Paperback by Green, Elna C., ISBN 082032552X, ISBN-13 9780820325521, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Debates prompted by the wave of welfare reform in the 1990s have largely overlooked the South; Green, a Southern historian (Florida State U.), takes Richmond, VA, as her example to explore issues and trends related to two centuries of relief for the needy and dependent in the urban South. Linking her findings to a larger narrative of welfare history in the US, she ties social welfare policy to other aspects of Southern history, showing how each period left its mark on policies and their implementation, from colonial poor laws to homes for children orphaned in the Civil War to the New Deal's public works projects.
