This look at Hopkins‘ life and social work career broadens our understanding of the political and cultural currents that led to the Social Security Act of 1935, the bedrock of the American welfare state. Hopkins‘ experiences as an advocate and administrator of work relief and widows‘ pensions in New York City during the Progressive Era informed his contribution to welfare legislation during the New Deal years. Written by his granddaughter June Hopkins, this book not only clarifies the emergence of welfare policy but sheds considerable light on the present welfare debate. It also illuminates the life of one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century. | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | 关键词 | America; bibliography; Great Depression; health; New York; New York City; reform; relief; settlement; social | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-137-10580-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-230-61365-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-10580-6Series ISSN 2578-7225 Series E-ISSN 2634-5285 | issn_series | 2578-7225 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 1999 |
