The Urban Underclass de Christopher Jencks

The Urban Underclass

Editat de Christopher Jencks, Paul E. Peterson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 1991
Many believe that the urban underclass in America is a large, rapidly increasing proportion of the population; that crime, teenage pregnancy, and high school dropout rates are escalating; and that welfare rolls are exploding. Yet none of these perceptions is accurate. Here, noted authorities, including William J. Wilson, attempt to separate the truth about poverty, social dislocation, and changes in American family life from the myths that have become part of contemporary folklore.
