Caring for Our Own

Why There Is No Political Demand for New American Social Welfare Rights

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Caring for Our Own explores why American families don't translate their unmet long-term care needs into political demands for policy reform. The book considers the ways in which existing social policies shape the political imagination and the conditions that both facilitate and impede political demandmaking in American social politics.
