Review :
A true understanding of welfare, Robert C. Lieberman argues in his provocative book, requires a hard look not at stereotypes but at history. Built into the early architecture of social welfare programs, are nasty political fights and rigged compromises over race and class. To make his point, Lieberman plays bureaucratic archeologist, unearthing and comparing the administrative structures of three social welfare programs: Old-Age Insurance, Aid to Dependent Children, and Unemployment Insurance...Shifting the Color Line is an enlightening look at America's failure to ask, without racist or political motives, how poor people can make progress...The book is an intense history course that bypasses decades of deceptive rhetoric to get to the core issues of the welfare debate. -- Alyssa Haywoode Boston Globe Robert Lieberman sets out to explain a 'profound puzzle' in the complicated history of race and the American welfare state...Lieberman combines historical and statistical analysis to show how and why...Clearly this book addresses issues of central importance to historians of race and social policy, and it does so with the kind of tightly argued thesis that is sure to stimulate further discussion and debate...he leaves us with important insights and evidence to build on in understanding the crucial, institutional dimensions of racial inequality. -- Alice O'Connor Reviews in American History
