School Library Journal Review

Gr 9 Up‘Following the series format, this book presents a collection of essays that juxtapose opinions of various experts in the field. A selection by The Women's Alliance entitled "Welfare Reform Is a Mistake" is opposed by Robert Rector in "Welfare Reform Is Necessary" and Michael Tanner's "Welfare Should Be Eliminated." Other essays deal with women and children, illegitimacy, and immigrants as recipients of welfare benefits. These controversial and passionate stances, presented back to back, provide the framework for debating the effects of welfare programs on America's poor and needy. Thoroughly documented with charts, statistics, and graphs, this title will appeal to students who want a broad overview of the subject. An up-to-date bibliography and a list of contact organizations are appended.‘Susan R. Farber, Ardsley Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.
