The Dual Agenda by Dona Cooper Hamilton
What is the role of race in social policy? Have race-based programmes failed? Should welfare and civil rights be blind to colour?
The Hamiltons'lucid study of the history of policy making in social welfare, from the New Deal to the present, is written from a black perspective and is meticulously researched and documentedBlack civil rights organizations, seeking a universal social welfare system, jobs in the regular work force, and national hegemony over government programs, worked for policies that comprised a dual agenda: the pursuit of race-specific issues and the fight for a social welfare agenda that included all citizens regardless of race. Part of the story is that of the clash of the two agendas... Highly recommended. Choice A richly detailed history of African American political strategy Perspectives on Political Science
