Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History in North America by John M Herrick

The Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History is a unique reference book that will provide users with basic information about the history of social welfare in North America, including Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

"This book provides a consolidated historical time line that is inclusive of the unique contributions of urban and rural communities, immigrant and aboriginal peoples, and various social movementsThe extensive chronologies are invaluable in that other sources often provide only limited time era or social welfare topic-specific chronologies." -- Donna McIntosh * Multicultural Review *
"Here is a reference work that provides readers with information about the history of social welfare in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. . . . One strength of the title under review is its multinational perspective. . . . Recommended for those academic library collections where there is a specific need for basic information related to the history of social welfare in North America." -- Diana Shonrock * BOOKLIST *
