- Summary:
- "In the second edition of Inequality in U.S. Social Policy: An Historic Analysis, Bryan Warde illuminates the pervasive and powerful role that social inequality based on race and ethnicity, gender, immigration status, sexual orientation, class, and disability plays and has historically played in informing social policy. Using critical race theory and other structural oppression theoretical frameworks, this book examines social inequalities as they relate to social welfare, education, housing, employment, health care, and child welfare, immigration, and criminal justice. With fully updated statistics throughout, and an examination of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the US, this new edition addresses the mammoth political and social changes which have affected inequality in the past few years. Inequality in US Social Policy will help social work students better understand the origins of inequalities that their clients face, as well as providing an introduction for other social science students"-- Provided by publisher.
