Called an enemy of the people," over the past year Piven has been subjected to an unprecedented campaign of hatred and disinformation, spearheaded by Beck. How is it that a distinguished university professor, past president of the American Sociological Association, and recipient of numerous awards and accolades for her work on behalf of the poor and for American voting rights, has attracted so much negative attention? For anyone who is skeptical of the World According to Beck, here is a guide to the ideas that Glenn fears most. Who's Afraid of Frances Fox Piven? is a concise, accessible introduction to Piven's actual thinking (versus Beck's outrageous claims), from her early work on welfare rights and poor people's movements," written with her late husband Richard Cloward, through her influential examination of American voting habits, and her most recent work on the possibilities for a new movement for progressive reform. A major corrective to right-wing bombast, this essential book is also a rich source of ideas and inspiration for anyone interested in progressive change"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Working class $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Welfare rights movement $z United States. 650 0 $a Voting $z United States. 600 10 $a Piven, Frances Fox. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 4 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722031835.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717022502.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180110051926.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825042220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DDA1A18EA6011E094823B976AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
