The missing class : portraits of the near poor in America

Author:	Katherine S Newman; Victor Tan Chen
Publisher:	Boston : Beacon Press, ©2007.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This book gives voice to the 57 million Americans--including 21 percent of the nation's children--who are sandwiched between poor and middle class. While government programs help the needy and politicians woo the more fortunate, the "Missing Class" is largely invisible and ignored. Through the experiences of nine families, sociologists Newman and Chen trace the unique problems faced by individuals in this large and growing demographic--the "near poor"--Who have transformed their lives through hard work and determination. Newman and Chen explain where these families came from, how they've struggled to make a decent living, and why they're stuck without a safety net.--From publisher description.  Read more...
